Overview

The National Instruments VXIpc-870B Series embedded controllers

are flexible, high-performance Pentium III-based controllers in a

rugged package ideal for VXI systems. An NI VXIpc-870B Series

controller in a VXI chassis gives you direct control of VXI registers,

memory, interrupts, and triggers while maintaining compatibility

with the scores of software packages and tools available for general

market desktop PC computers.

The NI VXIpc-870B Series controllers come in four models with

various options that provide the most cost-effective VXI embedded

control solution available. Table 1 details the standard features of the

VXIpc-870B Series controllers. The VXIpc-870B Series controllers

require two VXI C-size slots. The VXIpc-871B and VXIpc-874B

include all the standard features, but also add an integrated 24X max

CD-ROM drive. The VXIpc-872B and VXIpc-875B also contain all

standard features, but instead of a CD-ROM drive,they offer one PCI

expansion slot.

If you require a solid-state storage medium for operation in harsh

environments,you can use the VXIpc-870B Series controllers with an

internal solid-state flash drive in place of the internal hard drive, or a

removable solid-state flash drive that you can install and remove

directly from the front panel.
