National Instruments 779887-01 Embedded PXI Controller

Part number 779887-01 from National Instruments is the part number for the PXI-8106 Embedded PXI Controller with Windows XP For Embedded Systems (FES) and Extended Temperature capabilities. When compared to the standard version of Windows XP, the FES operating system takes up less space on the device and is an excellent solution for test systems encountering restrictions with storage or hardware. The options are endless with the 779887-01, which boasts connectivity options ranging from 10/100/1000 BaseTX Ethernet, Serial and Parallel Ports, an ExpressCard/34 Slot, and four Hi-Speed USB Ports. The controller utilizes a Dual-Core T7400 processor CPU and an impressive 30 GB PATA hard drive. 

With the 779887-01's extended temperature capabilities, the operating temperature range is expanded from 5 to 50 °C (41 to 122 °F) to an even wider range of 0 to 55 °C (5 °F to 131 °F). The operating environment has a noncondensing relative humidity range of 10% to 90%. The 779887-01 also has an expanded storage temperature range, going from –20 to 65 °C (-4 to 149 °F) to -40 to 70 °C (-40 to 158 °F). Compared to the operating environment, the storage environment has a larger noncondensing relative humidity range from 5% to 95%. These increased ranges improve the controller’s defense against temperature extremes. 

When it comes to shock and vibration, the 779887-01 controller can tolerate a peak operational shock of 30 g. In addition, it can withstand vibration parameters for both operating and nonoperating conditions with a range of 5 to 500 Hz. Designed as a PXI 3U-size module, the 779887-01 measures 8.1 cm × 13 cm × 21.6 cm (3.2 in. × 5.1 in. × 8.5 in.) and weighs 0.94 Kg (2.1 lb).
