National Instruments 780446-01 Dual-Core PXI Embedded Controller
Powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor running 32-bit Windows 7, the National Instruments 780446-01 (and 780446-04) delivers high-performance processing for PXI and CompactPCI platforms. Built specifically for modular instrumentation and data acquisition, this embedded controller functions as the central intelligence in a PXI chassis. It seamlessly handles instrument control, measurement processing, and real-time data management across complex test setups commonly found in aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and industrial automation environments.
An internal hard drive provides local storage for the operating system and applications, eliminating the need for external boot media. For broad hardware integration, the unit features built-in Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-TX) for network connectivity, USB 2.0 ports for standard peripherals, and a serial port for legacy instrument control. These onboard I/O capabilities allow complete system configuration right out of the box without requiring extra expansion hardware.
Designed as a fully self-contained solution, the controller operates without an external host PC. This makes it an excellent fit for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems, laboratory instrumentation platforms, and industrial data acquisition. Native support for LabVIEW, NI-DAQmx, and other National Instruments software suites ensures rapid application development, making the unit ideal for space-constrained, rack-mounted, or field-deployed test setups.
