Description
The VXI Embedded Controller, part number 777255-05, is a sophisticated device designed for advanced computing and control applications. Known by its model name, VXIPC-850, this device is part of the LabWindows/CVI VXI Starter System, specifically the VXIpc-850/75, tailored for Windows NT operating systems.
This controller is characterized by its 2-slot, C-size modular slot type, which offers flexibility and convenience for various configurations. It operates through a PCI local bus controlled VXIbus interface, ensuring high-speed data transfer and communication within the system. The main components of this embedded controller include a CPU Card, System I/O, ISA Expansion Slot, PCI Expansion Slot, and more, providing a comprehensive solution for system integration and expansion.
The VXIbus interface circuitry of this controller is based on MITE, ensuring efficient and reliable communication between the PCI and VXIbus. Furthermore, the device employs MANTIS ASIC for arbitration and trigger management, enhancing its performance in complex systems. Connectivity options are robust, featuring an Ethernet (ISA-based, RJ-45 connector) for network connections and a GPIB (IEEE 488.2 port) for instrument communication.
Its enclosure is made of metal and is removable for easy access to the internal components, facilitating maintenance and upgrades. The controller also supports CLK10 Signal Generation through an internal oscillator and an external CLK SMB connector, ensuring precise timing and synchronization. Additionally, it utilizes ISA interrupts 5 or 11 for GPIB interface interrupts, allowing for efficient handling of communication events.
Despite its obsolete status, the VXIPC-850 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can still benefit from its advanced features and capabilities.
