Figure 1-2. VXIpc-745 Embedded Computer

The VXIpc 700 Series controllers are C-size, embedded computers based
on the Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) bus and Industry Standard
Architecture (ISA). These computers are high-performance, easy-to-use
platforms for controlling VXIbus systems, featuring complete VXI
functionality through interactive utilities and C function calls. In addition,
the VXIpc-745 has Ethernet capability plus an IEEE 488.2 interface that
is compatible with the NI-488.2 architecture. You can install a
PCMCIA-GPIB card in a PCMCIA slot to get IEEE 488.2 capability on
the VXIpc-740.
The VXIpc 700 Series is a custom computer that you install directly in one
C-size slot of your VXIbus mainframe. An embedded computer can take
full advantage of the VXI high-performance backplane capabilities and
give you direct control of VXI registers, memory, interrupts, and triggers.
All models in the VXIpc 700 Series are fully VXIplug&play compliant
and are compatible with PC-compatible software tools, the National
Instruments LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI application software,
and the NI-VXI, NI-VISA, and NI-488.2 bus interface software.
You can contact National Instruments to order the optional single-shielded
2 m GPIB cable for the VXIpc-745.
