• Integrated Peripheral I/O

The National Instruments PXI-8195 / PXI-8196 Embedded Controllers for PXI are high-performance Celeron M 370 and Pentium M 760 based embedded controllers, respectively, for use in PXI and CompactPCI systems. The new Pentium M architecture provides the highest mobile performance at clock rates lower than Mobile Pentium 4 processors. The performance of the NI PXI-8196 is equivalent to that of a 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 system. They are ideal for applications requiring intensive analysis or PXI system development. A PXI-8196 or PXI-8195 embedded controller in a PXI chassis offers a compact, high-performance PC platform for modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications.

With state-of-the-art packaging, the PXI-8196 and PXI-8195 embedded controllers integrate a Pentium M or Celeron M processor and all standard and extended PC peripherals into a single unit. By integrating many peripherals on the controller, all active slots in the PXI chassis remain available for measurement modules. This rugged one-piece controller design minimizes integration issues and eliminates the need for complex cabling to peripheral daughterboards. The PXI-8196 and PXI-8195 also use the Mobile Intel 915GM Express chipset to deliver maximum performance, flexibility, and stability. Moreover, the 915GM Express chipset includes the new PCI Express bus, which provides the ExpressCard interface and full-rate Gigabit Ethernet.
