The demanding timing and synchronization requirements of
instrumentation systems are met by the integrated features of PXI Express.
Not only are the trigger bus, 10 MHz system reference clock, and star
trigger bus available in PXI retained by PXI Express, but new timing and
synchronization features that include a 100 MHz differential system
reference clock for the synchronization of multiple modules and three
differential star trigger buses for the distribution of precise clock and trigger
signals have been added. Differential timing and synchronization signals
provide PXI Express systems with increased noise immunity and the ability
to transmit clock signals at higher frequencies.
NI PXIe-8130
Description
The NI PXIe-8130 PXI Express/CompactPCI Express embedded computer
is a high bandwidth PXI Express/CompactPCI Express-compatible system
controller. The NI PXIe-8130 controller integrates standard I/O features
in a single unit by using state-of-the-art packaging. Combining an
NI PXIe-8130 embedded controller with a PXI Express-compatible
chassis, such as the PXIe-1062Q, results in a fully PC-compatible computer
in a compact, rugged package.
The standard I/O on each module includes DVI-I video, one RS-232 serial
port, a parallel port, four high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a PCI-based GPIB
controller, Gigabit Ethernet, a reset button, and a PXI trigger.
The NI PXIe-8130 has an AMD 2.3 GHz Turion 64 X2, 800 MHz
HyperTransport Link, Dual Channel DDR2, 667 MHz memory controller,
all the standard I/O, and a 40 GB (or larger) hard drive. It also has an
ExpressCard/34 expansion slot.
Note The NI PXIe-8130 Real-Time controllers ship with 40 GB (or larger) Extended
Temperature hard drives. These controllers can be ordered from National Instruments with
the part number 780032-33.
