Description
The PXI Embedded Controller, model PXI-8196, is a sophisticated piece of hardware designed for demanding computational tasks. It comes with a variety of part numbers including 191435B-722, 779911-00, 779911-01, 779912-00, and 779912-01, ensuring flexibility and compatibility with a range of setups.
At its core, the PXI-8196 is powered by a 2.0 GHz Pentium M 760 processor, providing robust performance for complex calculations and processing tasks. The system’s visuals are managed by an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, ensuring crisp and clear display outputs for user interfaces and graphical data.
Initially, the system comes equipped with 512 MB of RAM, but it’s designed to be upgradable, allowing expansions up to 1 or 2 GB to meet the needs of more demanding applications. This flexibility in memory configuration is supported by DDR2 SDRAM technology, offering a balance of speed and power efficiency.
The PXI-8196 includes a 40 GB Fast Ultra ATA100 interface internal hard drive, providing ample storage for software, data logging, and other operational needs. This ensures that users can store critical data locally for quick access and processing.
Designed to operate within a broad range of environments, the PXI-8196 has an operating temperature range of 5 to 50 °C under standard conditions, and it can be extended to 0 to 55 °C, catering to scenarios that require operation in more demanding or variable climates.
Software compatibility is a key feature of the PXI-8196, with support for industry-standard platforms such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, LabWindows/CVI, and NI-VISA. This compatibility ensures that users can seamlessly integrate the PXI-8196 into their existing workflows and take advantage of a wide range of software tools for data analysis, control, and automation.
The system boasts a comprehensive set of I/O peripherals including VGA, COM1, LAN, Parallel Port, USB (four ports), Trigger (SMB), GPIB, and an ExpressCard/34 slot, offering
