Overview
National Instruments RT Series PXI embedded controllers deliver a
flexible, rugged platform for your deterministic, real-time measurement
and control applications. With its 1.86 GHz processor and dual-channel
533 MHz DDR2 memory, the NI PXI-8104 RT offers an ideal balance of
performance and value for real-time test and control applications. You
develop your LabVIEW application with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time
Module on Windows and download the program to your PXI-8104 RT
controller via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS;
thus, you can 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 the latest
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-8104 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-8104 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.
