Overview
The NI PXI-8101 and PXI-8102 high-value embedded controllers featuring Intel
Celeron 575 and dual-core Celeron T3100 processors, respectively, are designed
for use in PXI and CompactPCI systems. With their 2.0 GHz single-core and 1.9 GHz
dual-core processors and 800 MHz DDR2 standard memory, these embedded
controllers offer an ideal balance of performance and value. The PXI-8101 or
PXI-8102 in a PXI chassis, such as the NI PXI-1036, provides a compact, high-
value, PC-based platform for test, measurement, and control applications.
Hardware
With state-of-the-art packaging, the PXI-8101 and PXI-8102 integrate Intel
processors and all standard and extended PC I/O ports into a single unit. By
integrating many I/O ports on the controller, all active slots in the chassis remain
available for measurement and control modules. This rugged one-piece controller
design minimizes integration issues and eliminates the need for complex cabling
to daughter boards. The PXI-8101 block diagram is shown in Figure 2.
