National Instruments 779886-02 Embedded PXI Controller

Part number 779886-02 from National Instruments is the part number for the PXI-8106 Embedded PXI Controller with Windows Vista. As the first Windows OS designed to support a CPU of 64 bits, the Windows Vista operating system works exceptionally well with the T7400 Intel Core 2 Duo processor of the PXI controller. 

The on-die L2 cache of the device features 4,096 KB of memory, while the overall system memory from the Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM operates on a standard 512 MB.  

The maximum currents of the 779886-02 embedded controller depend on the specific voltage used. The 779886-02 has maximum currents of 3.75 A, 8.50 A, and 0.005 A for voltages of +3.3 V, +5 V, and +12 V respectively. Voltages of -12 V measure at 0 A for both typical and maximum currents. The robust controller is designed to withstand operational shocks of up to 30 g at their peak. With a solid-state hard drive in use, the controller can operate in a range of 5 to 500 Hz. 

Fully compatible with devices from the PXI specification, the 779886-02 is designed as a 3U-sized PXI module. It measures in dimensions of 8.1 cm × 13 cm × 21.6 cm (3.2 in. × 5.1 in. × 8.5 in.). One system slot and three controller expansion slots are required in order to experience the full compatibility of the 779886-02. When used conjunction with the NI PXI-1042 chassis, the controller adheres to the testing standards of both IEC-60068-2-1 and IEC-60068-2-2.
