National Instruments 781478-01 PXI Controller

The part number 781478-01 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the PXIe-8133 PXI Controller. This device features a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.06 GHz and memory support of up to 8 GB of DDR3 SDRAM, allowing it to perform operations at high speed without affecting the overall performance of the system.

The 781478-01 PXI Controller features 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 GPIB IEEE 488.2 standard port, and a DVI-I video output connection. It also features an ExpressCard/34 slot for further expansion. The controller is equipped with an integrated SATA hard drive, with a standard storage option of 120 GB expandable for higher storage. The SATA interface supports transfer rates up to 150 MB/s, allowing this controller to write and read data at high speeds.

The 781478-01 PXI Controller features an ATI Radeon E2400 GPU which provides the controller with graphics capabilities. The DVI-I connector supports both digital and analog displays, allowing it to connect to different types of displays. It is also compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows and LabVIEW Real-Time, and supports booting from various media devices such as USB devices and network-based PXE servers.

The 781478-01 PXI Controller supports advanced timing and synchronization features, crucial for test and measurement applications. It includes a 100 MHz differential system reference clock and three differential star trigger buses, ensuring precise timing and synchronization across multiple modules. The controller operates efficiently within the PXI Express chassis, drawing power directly from the PXI Express backplane. It is designed to withstand a range of environmental conditions, including operating temperatures from 0 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius and storage temperatures from -20 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius. The device supports operating humidity levels from 10 % to 90 % RH, non-condensing. The module does not feature any Ingress Protection and should installed inside its compatible PXI chassis for protection and for powering the module.
