The National Instruments PXIe-8130 is a high-performance and high-bandwidth AMD Turion 64 X2 processor-based embedded controller for use in PXI Express systems. With the 2.3 GHz dual-core processor, dual-channel 667 MHz DDR2 memory, and 800 MHz HyperTransport link, NI PXIe-8130 controllers are ideal for modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications.
Dual-Core Processor The NI PXIe-8130 embedded controller includes the dual-core AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. Dual-core processors contain two cores, or computing engines, 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 run simultaneously. Two applications, such as National Instruments LabVIEW and Microsoft Excel, can each execute on a separate core at the same time, which improves the overall system performance.
High Bandwidth This embedded controller features an nVidia MCP55 Pro chipset that is connected to the AMD processor via an 800 MHz HyperTransport link. This chipset provides four x4 PCI Express lanes that are forwarded to the PXI chassis backplane to create four x4 PXI Express slots. Each of these slots has up to 1 GB/s of dedicated bandwidth with the overall system bandwidth of 4 GB/s.

Reduce your setup time and total cost of ownership, and get a system you can use out of the box with National Instruments system assurance programs. System assurance programs include:
Installation and integration test of all individual hardware
Courtesy installation of system driver sets and application development environments
Extended warranty and calibration coverage for up to five years
Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility
This service is only available for PXI, NI CompactRIO, and NI Compact FieldPoint systems.
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
