National Instruments 779887-33 Embedded PXI Controller

Part number 779887-33 from National Instruments is the part number for the PXI-8106 Embedded PXI Controller with Real-Time Embedded Software and Extended Temperature Capabilities. For applications encountering tight deadlines and otherwise time-sensitive projects, the real-time software capabilities of the 779887-33 gives the controller an advantage over other variations when it comes to managing resources in real time. The PATA hard drive has a capacity of 30 GB, ensuring that the device has ample storage for a range of testing scenarios.

0 to 55 °C (5 °F to 131 °F) is the operational temperature range of the 779887-33, a difference of 5 °C added on either end to the non-extended temperature range of 5 to 50 °C (41 to 122 °F). This extended range also applies to the storage temperature, offering a range of -40 to 70 °C (-40 to 158 °F) instead of the normal range of –20 to 65 °C (–4 to 149 °F) found in other variations of the controller. 

Connectivity is an important feature of the 779887-33, which boasts front panel connector options ranging from 4 Hi-Speed USB ports to an ExpressCard/34 Slot. As a result, this versatile controller is ready to connect in a variety of testing scenarios. 

The maximum current measurements for the 779887-33 depend on the voltage. For example, a voltage of +3.3V has a maximum current of 3.75 A, while a voltage of +5V voltage has an increased maximum current of 8.50 A. For voltages measuring +12V or -12V . both the typical and maximum currents are the same. These currents are 0.005 A and 0 A, respectively. 

With a PXI 3U-size standard form factor, the 779887-33 measures just 8.1 cm × 13 cm × 21.6 cm (3.2 in. × 5.1 in. × 8.5 in.) and measures only 0.94 Kg (2.1 lb).
