Description
The National Instruments PXI-8170 PXI Controller, with part number 18561.1, is a high-performance embedded controller designed for use in PXI systems. This controller is categorized under PXI Embedded Controllers and is modeled as the PXI-8170. It is engineered to deliver exceptional computing power for automated test equipment and data acquisition systems.
The PXI-8170 is powered by an Intel Processor and is supported by the Intel BX chipset. This combination ensures reliable performance and compatibility with a wide range of applications. The controller operates on either Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows NT operating systems, providing flexibility in software development and deployment.
Featuring a compact size of 3U Eurocard, it fits perfectly into standard PXI chassis, specifically the PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 chassis. Despite its compact size, measuring 8.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm and weighing only 1.1 Kg (2.4 lb), it does not compromise on performance or capability.
The PXI-8170 comes equipped with 64 MB of 100 MHz SDRAM, which is upgradable to 256 MB, catering to applications that require high memory capacity. For storage, it utilizes 1 ultra DMA33 hard drive, providing ample space and quick data access. Connectivity options include 1 serial port, 1 parallel port, and 1 USB port, ensuring versatility in connecting peripheral devices.
Graphics are handled by an Integrated Super VGA with 2 MB DRAM, sufficient for basic display needs within a test and measurement environment. Lastly, its peripheral expansion capabilities further enhance its utility in complex systems requiring additional components.
