National Instruments 785543-01 PXI Controller

The National Instruments 785543-01 PXI Controller is an essential part of the PXI-8840 Model series. This PXI/CompactPCI embedded controller is engineered to meet the demands of processor-intensive tasks within modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications.

The 785543-01 offers high-performance processing power with a 2.7 GHz Dual-Core or 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel® CoreTM CPU. Because of its integrated design, which includes all necessary I/O functions, PXI systems can link seamlessly. The controller includes a serial port, additional peripheral I/O choices, two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and two 10/100/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit) Ethernet connections.

With a 320 GB or 250 GB inbuilt hard drive and 8 GB or 2 GB of RAM, the 785543-01 offers plenty of storage and memory to meet a range of application needs. Dependability in severe industrial applications is ensured by its sturdy design.

The 785543-01 standard I/O features include two DisplayPort video outputs, one RS-232 serial port, four Hi-Speed USB ports, two SuperSpeed USB ports, and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. It also includes an Intel® CoreTM i5 4400E processor (2.7 GHz dual-core processor). It also has an ExpressCard/34 extension slot and a PCI-based GPIB controller, providing more room for customization and expansion.

Software tools such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and LabWindowsTM/CVITM are available from National Instruments and are compatible with the 785543-01. These tools provide outstanding control and seamless integration with NI hardware when used in conjunction with NI hardware drivers like NI-DAQmx.

Particularly, LabVIEW is a potent graphical programming environment that makes it easier to acquire data from a variety of equipment and to create reliable data analysis processes. Engineers may extract valuable insights from collected data with LabVIEW's support for a variety of instrument types, including serial, IEEE 488.2, VXI, and USB.
