Description
The National Instruments PXIe-8100 PXI Controller, with part numbers 150595A-02L / 781669-33, is a high-performance component categorized under PXI Embedded Controllers. This model, the PXIe-8100, is designed to facilitate deterministic instrumentation and data acquisition in continuous applications. It stands out for its compatibility with both PXI Express and CompactPCI Express frameworks, ensuring a wide range of application uses.
At the core of the PXIe-8100 is a 1.66 GHz Single-Core processor, optimized for tasks requiring swift, reliable data processing. Its BIOS is configurable, allowing for the enabling of various PXIe-8100 Controller features to cater to specific project requirements. Additionally, the controller’s default behavior is to boot into LabVIEW RT Safe Mode if no software is installed, ensuring safety and reliability from the start.
For network connectivity, the PXIe-8100 employs either a DHCP or a link-local IP address if DHCP is not available, facilitating easy integration into existing networks. Moreover, the LabVIEW RT configuration is highly customizable via switches, with the default switches in the OFF position if not utilizing LabVIEW RT software, providing flexibility in application and use.
This controller is particularly suited for applications that demand high reliability and precise timing and synchronization capabilities, making it an essential component in various engineering and scientific research settings.
