Overview
National Instruments RT Series PXI embedded controllers deliver a flexible,
rugged platform for your deterministic, real-time measurement and control
applications. The NI PXI-8101 RT controller with its 2.0 GHz single-core
processor, 1 GB standard RAM, and 800 MHz DDR2 memory offers an ideal
balance of performance and value for real-time test and control applications.
You develop your LabVIEW application with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module on
Windows and download the program to your PXI-8101 RT controller via Ethernet.
The embedded code executes on a real-time OS. Thus, you use the powerful and
flexible development tools of LabVIEW to build reliable, real-time solutions.
LabVIEW Real-Time applications running on PXI systems achieve microsecond
loop rates with only 3 to 4 ns of system jitter. These real-time measurement
and control systems capitalize on Intel processors combined with the advanced
timing, triggering, and I/O synchronization benefits of PXI. Furthermore, NI
measurement services software extends the timing capabilities of PXI to deliver
tight integration with LabVIEW Real-Time applications through operations such
as hardware-timed software loops.
Connect to Any I/O
The modularity of PXI and open development environment of LabVIEW make
it easy to integrate a variety of I/O within your application. Create a custom
real-time embedded solution using a PXI-8101 RT embedded controller with
any number and combination of PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules.
Built-in LabVIEW libraries help you create applications with data acquisition,
dynamic signal acquisition, motion control, image acquisition, reconfigurable
I/O, and instrumentation. Communicate with peripheral devices through CAN,
GPIB, Ethernet, or serial protocols. Use NI-VISA to integrate third-party
PXI/CompactPCI modules in your application.
In addition, the PXI-8101 RT controller includes an external SMB connection
for use as a trigger input, output, or watchdog timer. Use the external SMB to
pass trigger and timing signals into and out of the PXI trigger bus in your system.
