Description
The NI-8174 is a PXI Embedded Controller with a part number of 187317G-710. This model falls under the category of PXI Embedded Controllers and is designed to deliver robust performance for automated test equipment with its 566 MHz processor speed. The NI-8174 is specifically engineered to be compatible with PXI/cPCI systems and is best paired with the PXI-1000B chassis for optimal functionality.
Featuring a comprehensive suite of standard I/O options, the NI-8174 includes a VGA port, COM1 RS-232 Serial Port, 10/100 Ethernet Port, Parallel Port (IEEE 1284), two USB Ports (2x 4-pin Series A receptacle), and a PS/2 port. These connectivity options ensure versatile interfacing with a wide range of peripherals and networks, enhancing the controller’s utility in diverse operational environments.
In terms of data storage, users have multiple options including USB storage, an internal IDE hard drive, and a 1.44 MB floppy disk. This variety in storage solutions accommodates different data management and retrieval needs. Furthermore, the device supports several boot options such as booting from an internal IDE hard drive, an internal 1.44 MB floppy drive, an internal IDE CD-ROM, an external USB floppy drive, an external USB mass storage device, and an external SCSI hard drive, offering flexibility in system startup configurations.
An additional feature of the NI-8174 is its front panel TRG connector, which provides a software-controlled trigger connection for routing PXI triggers, further expanding its application range in automated test setups. The controller is designed to fit a PXI 3U form factor, with dimensions of 6.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm, making it a compact yet powerful solution for embedded control within PXI systems.
