This controller is used to create a portable PC-based platform for data acquisition, test and measurement, and industrial control applications. This model features two Hi-Speed USB ports, a 10/100/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit) Ethernet port, as well as an integrated hard drive. By using state-of-the-art packaging, this controller integrates standard I/O features in a single unit. By type, the PXI-8101 is a modular PC and is designed in 3U-size form factor.
This controller comes with a pre-installed OS and allows the user to install a different OS as well. With this controller, the user will be able to make changes in configuration settings through the BIOS setup program, which includes numerous menus for enabling or disabling NI PXI-8101 controller features. However, in most cases, users will find the default settings well suited for most of their applications. To couple with any PXI backplane trigger line, the National Instruments PXI-8101 comes equipped with a front panel SMB connector.
The NI device operates using the NI-DAQmx driver software, which is compatible with software packages/application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Studio .NET, NI-VISA, and Measurement Studio. The instrument is equipped with a variety of I/O connectors such as: a 24-pin DVI-I video connector, a 9-pin D-SUB (RS-232 serial port), an RJ45 Ethernet port, a 36-pin Champ (IEEE 1284 parallel port), an SMB trigger connector, and a stacked USB 4-pin Series A receptacle.
The NI PXI-8101 has two front panel LEDs that show PC status to keep the user purged with real-time information. In addition, a controller reset push button is also provided on the front panel that can be used for issuing a total reset command to the controller. For fast data storage at high rates, the National Instruments PXI-8101 features one 2.5 in. SATA notebook type internal hard disk drive. This model also supports more flexible options as it comes with USB storage support. The device weighs 1.42 lbs., with the dimensions: 1.59 x 5.14 x 8.51 in.
