2.16 GHz Dual-Core Embedded Controllers for PXI and PXI Express
Hardware
With state-of-the-art packaging, NI 8106 embedded controllers integrate
the Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7400 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. NI 8106 controllers also use the Mobile Intel
945GM Express chipset to deliver maximum performance, flexibility, and
stability. NI 8106 block diagrams are shown in figures 2 and 3.
Peripheral I/O
NI 8106 embedded controllers include high-performance peripheral I/O
such as 10/100/1000BaseTX (Gigabit) Ethernet and four Hi-Speed USB
ports for connection to a keyboard, a mouse, a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
for software installation, or other standard PC peripherals such as
speakers, printers, or memory sticks. Use the IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP parallel
port to connect to a wide variety of devices, including tape backup
drives, printers, and scanners. An RS232 port is available for connecting
to serial devices. Additionally, NI 8106 controllers include an integrated
GPIB (IEEE 488) controller, which provides control of external
instrumentation, saving additional cost and a slot.
ExpressCard
NI 8106 embedded controllers include an ExpressCard/34 slot.
ExpressCard uses the PCI Express and Hi-Speed USB serial interfaces to
provide up to 2.5 Gb/s of bidirectional throughput. Use the ExpressCard/34
slot to add a second Gigabit Ethernet port to your system or additional
peripheral I/O such as external hard drives, RAID arrays, 802.11 wireless
LAN, IEEE 1394, Bluetooth, or various memory adapters.
Video
NI 8106 embedded controllers feature the integrated Intel GMA 950
graphics media accelerator, 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, NI 8106 controllers include
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.
