such as Windows XP, where multiple applications run simultaneously.
Two applications, such as National Instruments LabVIEW and Microsoft
Excel, can each execute on a separate core at the same time, which
improves overall system performance. Multithreaded applications, such
as NI LabVIEW, take full advantage of dual-core processors because they
automatically separate their tasks into independent threads. A dual-core
processor can simultaneously execute two of these threads.
High Bandwidth
The NI PXIe-8130 features an NVIDIA MCP55 Pro chipset.
This chipset provides four x4 (“by four”) PCI Express lanes that are
forwarded to the PXI chassis backplane to create four x4 PXI Express
slots. Each of these slots has up to 1 GB/s of dedicated bandwidth
with the overall system bandwidth of up to 4 GB/s.
40 GB PATA hard drive for extended temperature, 24/7 operation option.

Table 1. NI PXIe-8130 Features
Dual-Core Processor
The NI PXIe-8130 includes the dual-core AMD Turion 64 X2 processor.
Dual-core processors contain two cores, or computing engines, in one
physical package. Dual-core processors can simultaneously execute two
computing tasks, which is advantageous in multitasking environments,
Figure 1. This NI PXIe-8130 controls an 8-slot PXI Express modular instrument and
data acquisition system.
High-Bandwidth, 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Embedded Controller for PXI Express
Hardware
Video
With state-of-the-art packaging, the NI PXIe-8130 integrates the
AMD Turion 64 X2 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 chassis remain available for measurement and control
modules. This rugged modular design minimizes integration issues and
eliminates the need for complex cabling to daughter boards. The
NI PXIe-8130 block diagram is shown in Figure 2.
The NI PXIe-8130 includes an integrated ATI Radeon X300 graphics
processing unit, which delivers intense, realistic 3D graphics with sharp
images, fast rendering, smooth motion, and high detail, without the need
for an additional video card or peripheral. This unique architecture provides
balanced memory usage between graphics and the system for optimal
performance. Additionally, the NI PXIe-8130 features 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 NI PXIe-8130 uses dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, which
makes the controller ideal for data-intensive applications requiring
significant analysis. The NI PXIe-8130 has two SO-DIMM sockets for
the DDR2 SDRAM. 1 GB (1 x 1 GB DIMM) of RAM is standard with
upgrade options to 2 GB.
Extended Temperature and
24/7 Operation Option

Peripheral I/O
The NI PXIe-8130 includes high-performance peripheral I/O such as
10/100/1000BaseTX (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
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 NI PXIe-8130 controller
includes an integrated GPIB (IEEE 488) controller, which provides control
of external instrumentation, saving additional cost and a slot.
ExpressCard
The NI PXIe-8130 features 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 hard drives, RAID arrays, 802.11 wireless LAN, IEEE 1394,
Bluetooth, or various memory adapters.
The NI PXIe-8130 embedded controller is available in two versions
to address different environmental and usage conditions. The primary
difference is that the version for extended temperature and 24/7
operation uses a different hard drive, designed for both reliability in
low- and high-temperature extremes and 24/7 operation. The standard
version of the controllers has an operating temperature of 5 to 50 °C
and a storage temperature of -40 to 65 °C. The extended temperature
and 24/7 operation version has an operating temperature of 0 to 55 °C
and a storage temperature of -40 to 71 °C.
You can also use the extended temperature and 24/7 operation
version for applications that require continuous operation for up to
24 hours/day, seven days/week because the hard drive is rated for
24/7 operation. The hard drive in the standard version of the controllers
is designed to be powered on for eight hours/day, five days/week.
Additionally, 24/7 operation applications may subject the hard drive
to a high duty cycle (the percentage of the maximum sustained
throughput of the hard drive). The hard drive in the standard version
of the controllers is designed for a 20 percent duty cycle. The hard
drive in the extended temperature and 24/7 operation version has a
capacity of 40 GB (minimum) versus the 60 GB (minimum) hard drive
used in the standard version of the controllers. See specifications for
further details.

High-Bandwidth, 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Embedded Controller for PXI Express
Software
The NI PXIe-8130 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 digital multimeter (DMM). With FIS, NI not only assembles and
tests 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 customized
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
