With its 2.0 GHz dual-core processor and dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 memory, the NI PXI-8105 is ideal for applications requiring intensive analysis or system development. A PXI-8105 embedded controller in a PXI chassis offers a compact, high-performance PC platform for modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications. Dual-Core Processor The PXI-8105 includes an Intel Core Duo T2500 dual-core processor. Dual-core processors have two cores, or computing engines, located in one physical package. With two cores, dual-core processors can simultaneously execute two computing tasks. This feature is advantageous in multitasking environments, such as Windows XP, where multiple applications can run simultaneously. Two applications, such as NI LabVIEW and Microsoft Excel, can each execute on a separate core at the same time, which improves overall performance. Applications that use multithreading can also take advantage of dual-core processors. Multithreaded applications separate their tasks into individual threads. A dual-core processor can simultaneously execute two of these threads. Benchmarks in LabVIEW 8.0 indicate a performance improvement of up to 25 percent between the PXI-8105 and the NI PXI-8196 (2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M 760) for single-threaded applications and up to 100 percent for multithreaded applications. The SYSmark Overall Performance benchmark for the PXI-8105 is 31 percent greater than that of the PXI-8196. SYSmark Overall Performance Overview 209 159 0 50 100 150 200 PXI-8105 (Intel Core Duo T2500, 2.0 GHz Dual Core) PXI-8196 (Intel Pentium M 760, 2.0 GHz) Figure 1. Embedded Controller Benchmarks Hardware With state-of-the-art packaging, the PXI-8105 embedded controller integrates the Intel Core Duo T2500 processor and all standard and extended PC I/O ports into a single unit. By integrating many I/O ports on the controller, all active slots in the PXI chassis remain available for measurement modules. This rugged one-piece controller design minimizes integration issues and eliminates the need for complex cabling to daughter boards. The PXI-8105 also uses the Mobile Intel 250 2.0 GHz Dual-Core Embedded Controller for PXI 945GM Express chipset to deliver maximum performance, flexibility, and stability.

PXI-8105 Features The PXI-8105 includes an external SMB connection for use as a trigger input, output, or watchdog timer. Use the external SMB to pass trigger and timing signals into and out of the PXI trigger bus in your system. Peripheral I/O The PXI-8105 includes high-performance peripheral I/O such as 10/100/1000BASE-TX (gigabit) Ethernet and four Hi-Speed USB ports for connection to a keyboard, a mouse, a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive for software installation, or other standard PC peripherals such as USB speakers, printers, or memory sticks. Use the IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP parallel port to connect to a wide variety of devices, including tape backup drives, printers, and scanners. An RS232 port is available for connecting to serial devices. Additionally, the PXI-8105 includes an integrated GPIB (IEEE 488) controller, which provides control of external instrumentation, saving additional cost and a slot. ExpressCard The PXI-8105 includes an ExpressCard/34 slot. ExpressCard uses the PCI Express and Hi-Speed USB serial interfaces to provide up to 2.5 Gb/s of bidirectional throughput. Use the ExpressCard/34 slot to add a second gigabit Ethernet port to your system or additional peripheral I/O such as external SATA hard drives, 802.11 wireless LAN, IEEE 1394, Bluetooth, or various memory adapters.

This unique architecture provides balanced memory usage between graphics and the system for optimal performance. Additionally, the PXI-8105 includes a DVI-I video connector, compatible with digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) monitors. A DVI-I to VGA adapter is included with the controller for use with VGA monitors. Memory The PXI-8105 uses dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. This feature makes the controllers ideal for data-intensive applications requiring significant analysis. The PXI-8105 has two SO-DIMM sockets for the DDR2 SDRAM. 512 MB (1 x 512 MB DIMM) of RAM is standard with the PXI-8105, with upgrade options to either 1, 2, 3, or 4 GB. Extended Temperature Option The PXI-8105 is available in two versions to address different environmental conditions. The basic version has an operating temperature of 5 to 50 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 65 °C. The extended-temperature version has an operating temperature of 0 to 55 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 85 °C. The primary difference is that the extended-temperature option uses a hard drive designed for reliability in low- and high-temperature extremes. This extendedtemperature hard drive has a capacity of 30 GB (minimum) versus 60 GB (minimum) on the standard controller. Please see specifications for further details. Software The PXI-8105 comes with the following minimum set of software already installed: • Microsoft Windows XP Professional OS (contact National Instruments or visit ni.com/pxiadvisor for localized versions of Windows XP and for other available operating systems) • Hard drive-based recovery image • NI-VISA and NI-488.2 drivers • Drivers for all built-in I/O ports (Table 1) With NI Factory Installation Services (FIS) added to a PXI system order, your embedded controller is shipped already configured with all software and drivers applicable for your system. For example, assume you order a PXI system that includes LabVIEW and NI TestStand software, as well as data acquisition modules, a digitizer, an arbitrary waveform generator, and a DMM. With FIS, NI not only assembles and ships your system but also fully configures the embedded controller with the appropriate NI-DAQmx, NI-SCOPE, NI-FGEN, and NI-DMM drivers, as well as LabVIEW and NI TestStand. Additionally, your embedded controller is configured with a hard drive-based recovery image, so you can restore your controller to the as-shipped configuration at any time. This combination of software configuration and recovery tools provides both a productive and reliable development experience with your PXI system out of the box.
