NI PXIe-8106

The National Instruments PXIe-8106 is a high-performance Intel Core 2 Duo T7400-based embedded controller for use in PXI Express and CompactPCI Express systems. With its 2.16 GHz dual-core processor and dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 memory, the NI PXIe-8106 is ideal for modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications. The NI PXIe-8106 includes an Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 dual-core processor.

Dual-core processors have two cores, or computing engines, located in one physical package. Dual-core processors can simultaneously execute two computing tasks, which is advantageous in multitasking environments, such as Windows XP, where multiple applications are running simultaneously. Two applications can each access a separate processor core at the same time, which improves overall performance. Also, dual-core processors are ideal for applications with multithreading, such as National Instruments LabVIEW software, which gives an application the ability to separate tasks into individual threads. A dual-core processor can simultaneously execute two of these threads. To configure a complete PXI Express system based on the NI PXIe-8106, please visit ni.com/pxiadvisor.
