Description
The PXI-8109 is a versatile and powerful embedded computer designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is built around the Intel i7-620M processor, which operates at 2.66 GHz and features Dual-Core technology. This ensures high performance and reliability for demanding applications.
This model is compatible with Windows XP, with the capability to install Windows 7, offering flexibility in terms of software and applications support. Additionally, the PXI-8109’s RAM can be upgraded thanks to its 2 SO-DIMM sockets that support DD3 type DIMMs, allowing for easy and cost-effective enhancements to its memory capacity.
For communication and connectivity, the PXI-8109 is well-equipped with 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 DVI-I video port, 1 RS232 serial port, 4 high-speed USB 2.0 ports, and 1 parallel port. These features ensure that it can be integrated into virtually any system setup or network with ease.
Additional features include a GPIB controller and PXI trigger connectivity with a front panel SMB connector, adding further versatility to its already robust set of capabilities. For storage solutions, the PXI-8109 supports an internal hard drive and ExpressCard expansion cards, offering ample options for data storage and expansion.
One of the notable capabilities of the PXI-8109 is its support for Hyper-Threading, which can be enabled or disabled through software. This feature, along with the option to configure the core operation to work with one or two CPU cores (default is two CPU cores), provides flexibility in optimizing performance based on specific application needs.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXI-8109 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Its part numbers include 781453-00, 781454-00, 781453-01, 781454-01, 781453-04, 781
