PXI-8105 Datasheet, PDF (3/6 Pages) National Instruments Corporation – Intel Core Duo Processor T2500(2.0 GHz dual core)

2.0 GHz Dual-Core Embedded Controller for PXI
Video
The PXI-8105 features the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator
950, which delivers intense, realistic 3D graphics with sharp images, fast
rendering, smooth motion, and high detail, without the need for an
additional video card or peripheral. This unique architecture provides
balanced memory usage between graphics and the system for optimal
performance. Additionally, the PXI-8105 includes a DVI-I video connector,
compatible with digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) monitors. A DVI-I to VGA
adapter is included with the controller for use with VGA monitors.
Memory
The PXI-8105 uses dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. This feature
makes the controllers ideal for data-intensive applications requiring
significant analysis. The PXI-8105 has two SO-DIMM sockets for the
DDR2 SDRAM. 512 MB (1 x 512 MB DIMM) of RAM is standard with the
PXI-8105, with upgrade options to either 1, 2, 3, or 4 GB.
With NI Factory Installation Services (FIS) added to a PXI system order,
your embedded controller is shipped already configured with all software
and drivers applicable for your system. For example, assume you order
a PXI system that includes LabVIEW and NI TestStand software, as well
as data acquisition modules, a digitizer, an arbitrary waveform generator,
and a DMM. With FIS, NI not only assembles and ships your system
but also fully configures the embedded controller with the appropriate
NI-DAQmx, NI-SCOPE, NI-FGEN, and NI-DMM drivers, as well as
LabVIEW and NI TestStand. Additionally, your embedded controller is
configured with a hard drive-based recovery image, so you can restore
your controller to the as-shipped configuration at any time. This
combination of software configuration and recovery tools provides both a
productive and reliable development experience with your PXI system
out of the box. To configure a complete PXI system with FIS, contact
National Instruments or visit ni.com/pxiadvisor.
USB Peripherals
Extended Temperature Option
The PXI-8105 is available in two versions to address different
environmental conditions. The basic version has an operating
temperature of 5 to 50 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 65 °C.
The extended-temperature version has an operating temperature of 0 to
55 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 85 °C. The primary difference
is that the extended-temperature option uses a hard drive designed for
reliability in low- and high-temperature extremes. This extended-
temperature hard drive has a capacity of 30 GB (minimum) versus 60 GB
(minimum) on the standard controller. Please see specifications for
further details.
National Instruments offers a USB-to-dual-PS/2 keyboard/mouse
adapter cable to connect a legacy PS/2 keyboard and mouse to a single
USB port on your embedded controller. Additionally, NI offers external
USB CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and USB floppy drives for use with your
embedded controller. Using the USB interfaces, connect these drives
to your embedded controller for easy software installation and upgrades.
Both are completely powered through the USB port, so no external power
connections are required. Additional USB peripherals, such as USB
speakers to add audio or USB memory sticks to add easily removable
memory, are widely available from PC peripheral manufacturers.
Additional Peripheral Ports
Software
The PXI-8105 comes with the following minimum set of software
already installed:
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional OS (contact National Instruments
or visit ni.com/pxiadvisor for localized versions of Windows XP and
for other available operating systems)
• Hard drive-based recovery image
• NI-VISA and NI-488.2 drivers
• Drivers for all built-in I/O ports (Table 1)
National Instruments offers numerous plug-in modules to add more
peripherals and ports to your PXI system. With the wide variety of
peripheral devices available, you can choose modules that add
communication with serial, IEEE 1394, and SCSI, in addition to numerous
others. Modules are also available for controlling other PXI or VXI/VME
systems. Visit ni.com/pxiadvisor to configure a system with additional
peripheral modules.
