Used NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS / NI PXI-8231 #9174451 for sale

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS / NI PXI-8231 is a multifunctional embedded controller for high-performance test and monitoring applications. NI PXI-8231 (8-slot) includes up to three dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processors with either 2.93GHz or 3.06GHz cores, up to 8 GB of DIMM RAM, and four 106.8 MB/s Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for equipment integration. The controller also includes dual removable 2.5-inch SATA hard drive bays which provide up to 2 TB of storage. It also has two USB ports, a CompactFlash drive and a DVD-ROM for system expansion. The hardware platform provides support for four Real-Time processor cores to ensure extremely deterministic performance for critical measurements and applications. This, combined with an NI-7859R FPGA Module, enables users to create real-time hardware-based control systems using modular, interchangeable components in PXI chassis. Furthermore, the platform supports Synchronization and Triggering (S&T) features like synchronization output, and a flexible trigger bus which adds the required level of synchrony between up to 8 different PXI slots. The embedded controller features Windows 7/Vista/XP or Windows Embedded Compact 7 Operating Unit with 8GB virtual memory support. The PC-based architecture also enables debugging options for Visual Studio and LabVIEW. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS PXI-8231 is suitable for industrial process control, automated test systems and high-speed data acquisition systems. It provides an integrated machine where multiple applications can share modular hardware, such as I/O modules, instruments, power supplies and motion controllers. Applications can include signal and data acquisition for test cells, data logging for machine vision systems, motion control for stage automation applications, and general electronics control. In conclusion, PXI-8231 is a versatile and powerful embedded controller that is perfect for laboratory and industrial applications requiring real-time operation and high computer performance. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS-7859R FPGA Module, Windows Operating Tool and debugging options make it an ideal solution for many different types of instrumentation and testing applications.
