Description
The National Instruments PXI-8186 is a versatile and powerful embedded computer designed for use in PXI systems. It is equipped with a Pentium 4-M CPU that runs at 2.2 GHz, providing the necessary computational power for demanding applications. The system comes with 256 MB of RAM to support its operations and a 30 GB hard drive for storage, which is a 2.5 in., 9.5 mm internal drive, suitable for various software and data storage needs.
From a graphical standpoint, the PXI-8186 utilizes Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics to manage its display outputs, ensuring clear and responsive visual performance. Memory operations are enhanced by the use of Double-Data-Rate SDRAM (DDR-SDRAM), which facilitates efficient data processing and transfer speeds.
The device is well-equipped with a variety of ports including 1x 10/100BaseTX for network connectivity, 1x IEEE 1284 Parallel port, 1x PCI-GPIB/TNT for instrumentation control, 2x USB 2.0 ports for peripheral devices, 1x PS/2 connector, and 2x Serial Ports for additional device connections. This array of ports underscores the PXI-8186’s versatility in integrating with a wide range of devices and systems.
The operating temperature for the standard version of the PXI-8186 ranges from 5 to 40 °C, ensuring reliable performance under standard laboratory or industrial conditions. An extended version is also available (Part Number: 778842-01), which can operate within a broader temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, providing additional robustness for demanding environments.
With dimensions of 8.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm and a weight of 2.2 lbs, the PXI-8186 is compact and lightweight, making it an ideal choice for systems where space efficiency is critical.
