The National Instruments 8171 Series (PXI-8174, PXI-8175, PXI-8176) embedded controllers are high-performance Pentium III based controllers for use in any PXI or CompactPCI system. Using a NI 8171 Series embedded controller with a PXI chassis, you get a compact, high-performance PC platform for modular instrumentation, useful in a wide range of applications. With its rugged, industrial packaging, PXI is ideally suited for deployment in harsh environments.

The NI 8171 Series covers a wide spectrum of applications from low-cost embedded systems to high-performance automated systems. The NI 8174 provides a low-cost PXI system controller alternative, while the NI 8176 delivers cutting-edge performance with a 1.26 GHz Pentium III processor, 512 KB of on-die advanced transfer cache, and integrated GPIB. All of the NI 8171 Series embedded controllers offer performance instrumentation features such as a trigger input/output for system timing synchronization and integrated hard drives equipped with Fast Ultra ATA100 interfaces for high-speed streaming to disk applications.
