National Instruments VXIPC-870 Pentium VXI Controller
The VXIPC-870 Pentium VXI controller by National Instruments is a Slot 0 unit. It integrates a VXI-plug and play compliant architecture. The controller uses an Intel Slot 1 based motherboard design. It supports a 700 MHz Pentium III processor configuration for systems. The controller delivers PCI based performance optimized for deterministic VXI instrumentation workloads environments. Its MITE based VXI-bus interface enables efficient DMA transfers across the backplane architecture. The design supports VME64 compliance for reliable high bandwidth modular communication within systems.
The VXIPC-870 controller achieves 30 Mbytes per second block data transfer performance capability. The random read and write operations reach 12 Mbytes per second sustained throughput levels. The word serial communication delivers 1 Mbyte per second for control oriented tasks execution. The NI VXIPC-870 provides dual USB ports for peripheral expansion. It includes integrated 10 over 100BaseT Ethernet networking for system connectivity support functions. Ultra Wide SCSI-3 support enables high speed external storage device integration within systems. The controller uses Ultra DMA 33 Enhanced IDE that provides efficient internal disk data handling performance stability. The internal hard drive capacity is specified as 6 GB Ultra DMA storage.
The Pentium VXI controller system contains memory that supports up to 384 MB SDRAM using SODIMM modules configuration. The unit includes a programmable watchdog timer subsystem feature. The watchdog timer integrates with measurement and automation explorer for monitoring support functions. The controller operates as a complete VXI Slot 0 resource manager for system coordination. Jumper-less configuration allows simplified hardware setup and maintenance procedures for reliable system operation. It supports PCI-GPIB IEEE 488 interface integration capability. This interface enables direct control of test instruments within VXI systems environments efficiently.
The PC Card support provides native compatibility with Windows 98 and Windows NT platforms. The operating system includes Windows 98, Windows NT and Linux environments compatibility assurance. The software provides standardized hardware communication interfaces for application development tasks. The VXI controller uses NI-488.2 software that enables GPIB communication under supported operating systems for instrument control tasks. Its PCI architecture ensures efficient data routing between processor and peripherals within system. The Pentium VXI controller represents a technically complete embedded VXI computing platform solution class. The high performance PCI bandwidth enables responsive communication with connected peripherals in real-time operation.
