Overview
The NI PXIe-8101 and PXIe-8102 are high-value embedded controllers
designed for use in PXI Express and CompactPCI Express systems. The
NI PXIe-8102 features a dual-core 1.9 GHz Intel Celeron T3100 processor,
and the NI PXIe-8101 includes a single-core 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron 575
processor. Integrating these controllers into a PXI Express chassis, such as
the NI PXIe-1062 or PXIe-1082, provides a compact, high-value platform
that delivers up to 1 GB/s of total system bandwidth and up to 250 GB/s of
single-slot bandwidth. This combination of high system and slot bandwidth,
the latest Intel processors, and a lower price point makes these controllers
ideal for value-based test, measurement, and control applications.

Hardware
With state-of-the-art packaging, the NI PXIe-8101 and PXIe-8102 integrate
Intel processor 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 NI PXIe-8102 block diagram is shown in Figure 2.
