This model comes equipped with a 1.2 GHz Intel Celeron processor, 256 MB of RAM, and a 30 GB HDD (upgradeable). The NI PXI 8185 is known for its extensive range of extended I/O provided for secure connectivity to other peripherals or instruments.  The National Instruments PXI-8185 has a single socket for SDRAM with the power to hold up to 512 MB memory.

The two USB ports available onboard can be used for connection to standard PC peripherals, such as printers, memory sticks, etc. The USB ports can be used for connection to an extended CD drive for easy and quick software installation. In its standard configuration, the NI PXI-8185 is offered with a pre-installed operating system. However, the user can always switch over to another compatible operating system whenever they want.

The PXI-8185 is run using the NI-DAQ driver software which is compatible with software packages like NI-VISA, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. This Embedded Controller offers excellent graphics and memory performance since it uses Dynamic Memory Video Technology (DMVT) by Intel®.
