NI PXI-8105
Description
The NI PXI-8105 PXI/CompactPCI embedded computer is a
high-performance PXI/CompactPCI system controller. The NI PXI-8105
controller integrates standard I/O features in a single unit by using
state-of-the-art packaging. Combining an NI PXI-8105 embedded
controller with a PXI-compatible chassis, such as the NI PXI-1042, results
in a fully PC-compatible computer in a compact, rugged package.
Note
The NI PXI-8105 controller will not function in the NI PXI-1020 or NI PXI-1025
chassis.
Caution
ESD: An electrostatic discharge event to the ExpressCard port may cause the
controller to restart. This is an Electromagnetic Compatibility Performance Criteria C
(non-continuous operation) for ESD.
The standard I/O on each module includes DVI-I (Digital Video Interface
Integrated Analog/Digital) video, one RS-232 serial port, a parallel port,
four Hi-Speed USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a reset button, and a PXI
trigger.
The NI PXI-8105 has an Intel
®
Core
™
Duo processor T2500 (2.0 GHz dual
core processor), all the standard I/O, and a 30 GB (or larger) hard drive. It
also has a PCI-based GPIB controller and an ExpressCard/34 expansion
slot.
