Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8176 places a Pentium III-based computer inside a PXI instrumentation system. NI documents its use in a PXI-1000B chassis to control a PXI-4070 digital multimeter through the PXI backplane.

As a member of the NI 8171 Series, the controller uses the family's PXI installation guidance. The installation guide identifies Slot 1 as the system controller position and refers users to the family user manual for BIOS configuration, memory installation, and troubleshooting.

What processor does the PXI-8176 use?

NI identifies the PXI-8176 as a 1.26 GHz Pentium III embedded controller.

Which controller family includes the PXI-8176?

The PXI-8176 belongs to the NI 8171 Series, together with the PXI-8174 and PXI-8175.

Where does the controller install in a PXI chassis?
