The high-performance NI PXIe-8130 RT is the first National Instruments embedded controller based on PXI Express. You can develop your LabVIEW application with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module on Windows and download the program to your NI PXIe-8130 RT controller via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS. Thus, you 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. Connect to Any I/O The modularity of PXI and open development environment of LabVIEW make it easy to integrate a variety of I/O within your application. Create a custom real-time embedded solution using an NI PXIe-8130 RT with any number and combination of PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules. With built-in LabVIEW libraries, you can 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. And use NI-VISA to integrate third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules into your application. In addition, the NI PXIe-8130 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. Run Parallel Tasks on Separate Processor Cores The LabVIEW Real-Time Module takes advantage of the available dual cores on the AMD processor to increase performance and determinism for large real-time test and control applications. You can either explicitly assign certain tasks to run on specific cores of the processor or let the real-time operating system manage this assignment for you.

Maximum loop rates for LabVIEW Real-Time PXI/PXI Express systems are shown. (All benchmarks use LabVIEW 8.5 Real-Time Module with NI-DAQmx 8.5. Processors for both the controllers were used in the dual-core mode. Benchmarks were revised to adhere to the architecture recommended by NI for symmetric multiprocessingenabled systems. Benchmarks that do not test network performance run on a headless target without a direct Ethernet connection for maximum performance. Benchmarks that do test network performance use interrupt-mode Ethernet via a direct connection between the host PC and real-time target with a crossover cable.) Visit ni.com or contact National Instruments for additional benchmarks. Extended Temperature and 24/7 Operation An NI 8130 embedded controller comes standard with the extended temperature and 24/7 operation mode. It uses a rugged hard drive designed for both reliability in low- and high-temperature extremes and continuous operation. An NI 8130 has an operating temperature of 0 to 55 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 71 °C. You can also use the NI PXIe-8130 RT for applications that require continuous operation for up to 24 hours/day, seven days/week because the hard drive is rated for such operation. Standard hard drives are designed to be powered on for eight hours/day, five days/week. The hard drive used in the NI PXIe-8130 RT controller is rated for continuous operation and exposure to high duty cycles (the percentage of the maximum sustained throughput of the hard drive). This makes the controller suitable for a large variety of applications and deployment conditions. Create Reliable Stand-Alone Systems To ensure reliable operation, embedded LabVIEW applications continue to run even if the host PC is interrupted or rebooted. Because the NI PXIe-8130 RT embedded controller runs in a separate chassis with a dedicated power supply, you 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 NI PXIe-8130 RT controller. Dual-Boot Option You can configure NI PXI embedded controllers to boot into Windows or the LabVIEW 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.
