National Instruments 780956-33 PXI-8101 Embedded Controller
The National Instruments 780956-33 (PXI-8101) is a 2-slot 3U PXI embedded controller designed for deterministic data acquisition, automated testing, and industrial measurement applications. Powered by a 2.0 GHz single-core Intel Celeron 575 processor, it comes standard with 1 GB of dual-channel 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (expandable up to 4 GB via a single SO-DIMM slot). Unlike mechanical hard drive variants, the 780956-33 incorporates a solid-state flash drive (4 GB or greater), providing enhanced data integrity and fast boot performance in demanding operating environments subject to high vibration.
Front-panel connectivity features a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-TX) port for network deployment alongside two Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports for connecting external peripherals and storage devices. Designed to integrate directly with PXI and CompactPCI chassis backplanes, the controller fully supports the PXI Trigger Bus to enable precise hardware timing and synchronization across adjacent system modules. PS/2 peripheral ports are intentionally omitted in favor of standard USB interfaces.
The 780956-33 occupies one system slot plus one expansion slot with physical board dimensions of 4.0 cm × 13.0 cm × 21.6 cm. It draws power efficiently across system rails, requiring 2.25 A typical at +3.3 V (3.60 A max), 3.50 A typical at +5 V (6.60 A max), and 0.001 A typical at +12 V. Shipped standard with Windows Vista Business pre-installed (with Windows XP Professional downgrade support for legacy test code), the module operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of 5°C to 50°C and 10% to 90% non-condensing relative humidity.
