National Instruments PXIe-8840 PXI Controller

The National Instruments PXIe-8840 (Part Numbers: 785782-01, 785782-04, 785782-33, 784007-04, 785546-01, 784007-33, and 155186B-012L) is a PXI Controller with a 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor. The NI PXIe-8840 Quad-Core Controller incorporates an outside SMB association for use as a trigger information, output or watchdog timer. The outer SMB can be used to pass trigger and timing signals into and out of the PXI trigger bus in a framework. This model has an Intel i5-4400E processor, 2 Gigabit Ethernet with 2 USB ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, an ExpressCard (optional), 2 RS-232 serial ports, In-ROM memory, and hard drive diagnostics. The device requires 1 system slot and 3 controller expansion slots to operate. It has a bandwidth of 2 or 8 GB/s.

The PXIe 8840 is run using the NI-DAQmx driver software which is compatible with software packages like LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio. To guarantee solid activity, inserted LabVIEW Real-Time applications keep on running regardless of whether the host PC is interrupted or rebooted. Since the PXIe-8840 RT keeps running in a different chassis with a dedicated power supply, the user can close the host PC completely without interfering with the continuous program.

With this model, the user can utilize the expanded temperature and day in and day out activity for applications that require persistent tasks for up to 24 hours every day, seven days a week, despite the fact that the hard drive is appraised for day in and day out tasks. The hard drive in the standard form of the National Instruments PXIe-8840 Controller is intended to be fueled on for eight hours per day, five days a week. Furthermore, every minute of every day task applications may subject the hard drive to a high-obligation cycle (the level of the most extreme supported throughput of the hard drive). The hard drive in the broadened temperature and every minute of every day task rendition has a limit of 80 GB.

The four-wide 3U PXI Express module weighs 2.91 lbs. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 5 °C to 50 °C, and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 65 °C.

The PXIe-8840 has a "Last Time Buy" date of November 30, 2024 from NI- but it will remain available for purchase and repair with Apex Waves.
