Description
The PXI-8186 is a high-performance PXI Embedded Controller designed to meet the complex needs of advanced measurement and automation systems. With Part Number 778842-00, this controller is a critical component in PXI systems that require robust processing capability. The PXI-8186 is powered by a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4-M CPU and comes with a 512 KB On-Die Cache to enhance processing efficiency.
It is equipped with 256 MB of DDR-SDRAM, providing sufficient memory for most applications. The system’s storage needs are addressed with a 30 GB, 2.5 in., 9.5 mm hard drive, offering ample space for software, data logging, and other critical files. For graphical outputs, the PXI-8186 utilizes Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics, ensuring clear and reliable display capabilities.
Connectivity is versatile, featuring several ports including 1x 10/100BaseTX for network connections, 1x IEEE 1284 Parallel, 1x PCI-GPIB/TNT for instrumentation control, 2x USB 2.0 for peripheral devices, 1x PS/2, and 2x Serial ports for additional connectivity options. This controller is designed to operate within a standard temperature range of 5 to 40 °C, with an extended operating temperature option (Part Number: 778842-01) available for environments ranging from 0 to 55 °C.
The PXI-8186 measures 3U in size, with dimensions of 8.1 x 13 x 21.6 cm and weighs approximately 2.2 lbs. It requires 1 system slot and 3 controller slots within a PXI chassis. Software compatibility includes NI-DAQ and NI-VISA, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of software tools and applications. Despite its advanced features, it is important to note that the PX
