{"product_id":"national-instruments-pxi-8196","title":"National Instruments PXI-8196","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe National Instruments PXI-8196 Embedded Controller is a high-performance solution designed for PXI systems, leveraging a 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M 760 processor to deliver robust processing capabilities. It comes equipped with 512 MB of DDR2 SDRAM, which can be expanded to a maximum of 2 GB through two DDR2 SO-DIMM modules, facilitating data-intensive applications. The controller includes a minimum 30 GB internal hard drive with a Fast Ultra ATA100 interface, ensuring efficient data handling and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated within the PXI-8196 is an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, and it features an external SMB connector, which serves dual purposes as a trigger input\/output and a watchdog timer, thereby enhancing timing and synchronization capabilities within the PXI trigger bus. Additional system expansion is supported by a PCI-based GPIB controller and an ExpressCard\/34 slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Embedded Controller is available in two environmental configurations: the standard version operates effectively at temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 50 °C, while the extended-temperature model supports a broader range of 0 °C to 55 °C, making it suitable for diverse industrial and laboratory environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PXI-8196 is compatible with various National Instruments software platforms including LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and LabWindows\/CVI, and supports the NI-VISA API for seamless communication with a wide range of instruments across different interfaces such as serial, GPIB, VXI, and PXI. Connectivity options on the PXI-8196 are comprehensive, featuring a VGA port, a COM1 serial port, an Ethernet port, a parallel port, and four USB interfaces, among others. Notably, while the controller lacks a native PS\/2 connector, compatibility with PS\/2 devices is achievable through a USB Y-splitter cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTypically shipped with Microsoft Windows XP pre-installed, the PXI-8196 is now regarded as obsolete, yet remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves, who offer factory calibration and optional software integration assistance to ensure continued operational support.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46683843297516,"sku":"PXI-8196","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/1112\/6600\/files\/National_Instruments_Group_Photo_-_Final_Compressed_a7d75064-f467-430d-a7af-a64a7ca9ec20.jpg?v=1753243103","url":"https:\/\/www.industrialautomationco.com\/products\/national-instruments-pxi-8196","provider":"Industrial Automation Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
