National Instruments PXI-8186 PXI Controller

Featured with an integrated GPIB (IEEE 488.2) interface, the National Instruments PXI-8186 (Part Numbers: 778755-00, 778755-01, 778755-02, 778755-33, 778842-00, 778842-01, 778842-02, 778842-33) is a Pentium 4-based embedded controller that can be used in any PXI or CompactPCI system. The powerful hardware configuration of this controller makes it a viable solution for a broad range of intensive applications. The NI PXI-8186 comes equipped with a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 CPU and a 30 GB hard drive.

To deliver realistic, intense 3D graphics, fast rendering, high detail, and smooth motion, the PXI-8186 Controller features an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics core. Thus, the user will not need an additional video card. This controller utilizes double-data-rate SDRAM (DDR-SDRAM). The SDRAM doubles memory bandwidth since it transfers data twice per cycle. The NI PXI-8186 comes equipped with one 10/100BaseTX port, one IEEE 1284 parallel port, one PCI-GPIB/TNT port, two USB 2.0 ports, one PS/2 connector, two serial ports, and a 2.5 in., 9.5 mm, 30 GB internal hard drive.

 As far as its physical dimensions are concerned, it is a 3U-size PXI module, with dimensions of 8.1 by 13 by 21.6 cm. Also, the device has a weight of 2.2 lbs. The NI PXI-8186 requires one system slot and three controller slots to be installed in a compatible PXI chassis.

The PXI-8186 operates using multiple software options. One of them is NI-DAQ, which hosts a library of functions that can be utilized from your application development environment (ADE) of choice—ADEs such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and LabWindows/CVI. Another software that the device operates on is NI-VISA, which is used in creating applications and instrument drivers.

Obsolete status has been announced for the PXI-8186 by National Instruments, but the controller will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
