Description
The 778014-01 is a part number representing a PXI Embedded Controller belonging to the category of PXI Embedded Controllers. Specifically, this model is known as PXI-8156. The PXI-8156 is described as PXI-8156/233, Core Only (No hard or floppy drives), indicating its focused application and design for specific use cases. Despite the core-only specification, it is noteworthy that drives included with this model can comprise a 3.5 in. 1.44 MB floppy drive and a 2 GB hard drive, which is expandable to meet various storage needs.
The display technology employed by the PXI-8156 is Super VGA, ensuring clear and detailed visual output. Connectivity options are robust, with the inclusion of 2 RS-232 serial ports and 1 Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. Additionally, it facilitates the use of both a keyboard and a mouse through 1 PS/2-style port for each. Network connectivity is supported by a 1 10BaseT Ethernet port, and the device also features 1 ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) for enhanced peripheral connection capabilities.
Instrumentation control and data transfer are facilitated by the inclusion of 1 GPIB port, which uses a 24-pin standard GPIB connector for reliable communication with GPIB-enabled devices. The front panel of the PXI-8156 includes LEDs that indicate device power and drive status, as well as Ethernet port status (TX/RX & LINK LEDs), providing at-a-glance monitoring of vital system functions.
For system expansion and upgradeability, the PXI-8156 supports both ISA bus and PCI local bus technologies, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripheral devices. The system also comes with a software kit included, specifically the NI-488.2M, which offers a comprehensive suite of drivers and utilities for system setup and operation. The programming API supported by this model is NI-VISA, facilitating easy integration
