NI PXI-8109 User Manual
The NI PXI-8109 PXI/CompactPCI embedded computer is a
high-performance PXI/CompactPCI system controller. The NI PXI-8109
controller integrates standard I/O features in a single unit by using
state-of-the-art packaging. Combining an NI PXI-8109 embedded
controller with a PXI-compatible chassis, such as the NI PXI-1042, results
in a fully PC-compatible computer in a compact, rugged package.
The standard I/O on each module includes DVI-I video, one RS-232 serial
port, a parallel port, four high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a PCI-based GPIB
controller, two Gigabit Ethernet connectors, a reset button, and PXI
triggers.
The NI PXI-8109 has a dual-core Intel Core i7-620 M Processor, Dual
Channel DDR3, 1066 MHz memory controller, all the standard I/O, and an
integrated hard drive. It also has an ExpressCard/34 expansion slot.
