Description
The part number 186595C-420 refers to a PXI Embedded Controller, specifically the model PXI-8170. This particular model is designed to operate under the Windows 98 (Japan) operating system and is powered by an Intel Processor. It adheres to the 3U Eurocard form factor, making it suitable for compact system configurations.
Compatibility with both CompactPCI and PXI peripheral modules is ensured, allowing for flexible system expansion and integration. The core of the PXI-8170 is the Intel BX chipset, providing a robust platform for demanding applications. Storage is facilitated by 1 ultra DMA33 hard drive, and connectivity options include 1 serial, 1 parallel, and 1 USB port. Additionally, a 3.5 in. 1.44 MB floppy drive is included for legacy support.
Graphics are handled by a Super VGA card, equipped with 2 MB DRA, ensuring clear and crisp display output. The system comes with 64 MB of 100 MHz SDRAM, which can be upgraded to 256 MB to accommodate more demanding applications. It requires 1 system slot and provides 3 controller expansion slots for further extension.
The dimensions of the PXI-8170 are 8.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm, and it weighs approximately 1.1 Kg (2.4 lb), making it both compact and lightweight. For peripheral expansion, it supports PCI local bus and AGP, with data transfer rates of 266 Mbytes/s for AGP and 132 Mbytes for PCI, offering significant bandwidth for peripheral communication.
Despite its obsolete status, announced by National Instruments, the PXI-8170 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring support for existing installations and applications that rely on this specific model.
