With its 1.86 GHz processor and dual-channel 533 MHz DDR2 memory, the NI PXI-8104 RT offers an ideal balance of performance and value for real-time test and control applications. You develop your LabVIEW application with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module on Windows and download the program to your PXI-8104 RT controller via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS; thus, you can use the powerful and flexible development tools of LabVIEW to build reliable, real-time solutions. LabVIEW Real-Time applications running on PXI systems achieve microsecond loop rates with only 3 to 4 ns of system jitter. These real-time measurement and control systems capitalize on the latest processors combined with the advanced timing, triggering, and I/O synchronization benefits of PXI. Furthermore, NI measurement services software extends the timing capabilities of PXI to deliver tight integration with LabVIEW Real-Time applications through operations such as hardware-timed software loops. Built-in LabVIEW libraries help you create applications with data acquisition, dynamic signal acquisition, motion control, image acquisition, reconfigurable I/O, and instrumentation. Communicate with peripheral devices through CAN, GPIB, Ethernet, or serial protocols. Use NI-VISA to integrate third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules in your application. In addition, the PXI-8104 RT controller 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.

Create a custom real-time embedded solution using a PXI-8104 RT embedded controller with any number and combination of PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules. 512 or 128 MB solid-state drive can replace the hard drive. Table 1. PXI-8104 RT Features 1.86 GHz Intel Celeron M Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI Create Reliable Stand-Alone Systems To ensure reliable operation, embedded LabVIEW Real-Time applications continue to run even if the host PC is interrupted or rebooted. Because the PXI-8104 RT embedded controller runs in a separate chassis with a dedicated power supply, the operator can shut down the host computer entirely without disrupting the real-time program. For stand-alone operation, you can embed code in the system so that it starts automatically when the system boots, requiring no human interaction. Use the LabVIEW Professional Development System and LabVIEW Real-Time Module to compile your LabVIEW application into an executable and download it to your PXI-8104 RT controller.

Maximum loop rates for LabVIEW Real-Time PXI systems are shown. All benchmarks use the LabVIEW 8.5 Real-Time Module with NI-DAQmx 8.7. PXI-8106 RT controller was used in single-core mode for making an accurate comparison with PXI-8104 RT. These benchmarks do not test network performance and run on a headless target without a direct Ethernet connection for maximum performance. Visit ni.com or contact National Instruments for additional benchmarks. Dual-Boot Option You can configure NI PXI embedded controllers to boot into Windows or the real-time OS. NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) includes features for installing and configuring PXI embedded controllers as LabVIEW Real-Time targets. The controllers use a hardware switch or BIOS setting to boot into the desired OS. The result is a PXI embedded controller that can run embedded LabVIEW Real-Time or Windows applications. When the controller is in real-time mode, you need another Windows computer to develop and debug the LabVIEW Real-Time code for the PXI controller. To enable a Windows PXI embedded controller to dual-boot with the real-time OS, you must purchase the LabVIEW Real-Time embedded deployment software for the controller.
