National Instruments RT Series PXI embedded controllers deliver a flexible, rugged platform for your deterministic, real-time measurement and control applications. The NI PXI-8108 RT offers a high-performance platform ideal for real-time test and control applications. You can develop your application with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time or LabWindows/CVI Real-Time modules on Windows and download the program to your PXI-8108 RT controller via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS, so you can use the powerful and flexible development tools of LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI to build reliable, real-time solutions.

Connect to Any I/O
The modularity of PXI and open development environment of LabVIEW make it easy to integrate a variety of I/O in your application. Create a custom real-time embedded solution using a PXI-8108 RT embedded controller with any number and combination of PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules.

Run Parallel Tasks on Separate Processor Cores
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module takes advantage of the available dual cores on the Intel processor to increase performance and determinism for large real-time test and control applications. You can either explicitly assign certain tasks to run on specific cores of the processor or let the real-time OS manage this assignment for you.
