National Instruments PXIe-8135 Controller

The PXIe-8135 (Part Numbers: 782340-00, 782340-04, 782450-04, 782340-33, 782450-00, 782452-04, 782450-01, 782450-33, 782341-00, 782341-04, 782451-04, 782129-33, 782451-00, 782453-04, 782451-01, 782341-33, 782555-00) is an Intel Core i7 inserted controller for PXI Express frameworks. It is utilized for processor-intensive, modular instrumentation, and data obtaining applications. The PXIe-8135 incorporates two 10/100/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit) Ethernet ports, two high-speed USB ports, and four high-speed USB ports, along with an integrated hard drive, serial port, and other I/O. The device has a maximum controller bandwidth of 8 GB per second.

This model comes with mulitple part numbers and various configurations based on operating system and additional attributes. They are divided into variations with No OS, Windows 7 (32 Bit), Windows 7 (64 Bit), and Real-Time Embedded Software. Certain variations feature an ExpressCard, others have an Extended Temperature Range, and others have a combination of the two.

The SMB connector on the NI PXIe-8135 front board can interface with or from any PXI Express backplane trigger line. A trigger allocation process is expected to keep two assets from interfacing with a similar trigger line, resulting in the trigger being double-driven and perhaps harming the module.

The NI PXIe-8135 operates using the NI-DAQmx driver software, and is compatible with software packages/application development environments such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++, LabWindows/CVI, and Visual Studio .NET. The device can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.

The NI PXIe-8135 Controller incorporates two methods for reestablishing the original factory condition of the user’s hard drive. Hard drive-based recuperation stores a separate part of the hard drive, enabling the user to reestablish their controller without extra media. The NI PXIe 8135 Controller additionally ships with an OS Recovery CD that enables the user to reinstall their working framework onto their hard drive through an outside USB CD/DVD-ROM. NI's RAM module specifications specifies 4 GB of standard RAM and 16 GB of maximum RAM for the PXIe-8135.

The NI PXIe-8135 uses a type C LPT connector. Most parallel port gadgets utilize a type A connector. To utilize a gadget with a standard type A LPT connector, the user must utilize a type C-to-type A LPT connector. This controller offers 250 GB or larger 2.5 in a notebook hard drive, supports Native Command Queuing, supports transfer rates up to 600 MB per second, has a removable Serial ATA hard drive (Removable hard drive variant only), and USB storage support.

PXIe-8135 Mature Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the controller will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
