This listing is for a National Instruments (NI) PXI-8108 high-performance embedded real-time controller (Intel Core 2 Duo, T9400-based, 2.53 GHz dual-core processor), with 80GB hard drive, and 1GB RAM (supports up to 4GB). All controller peripheral device drivers, including USB ports, ExpressCard/32 slot, and GPIB are working properly (see hardware device related screen shots). The controller has been updated to SP3, with all available Microsoft updates through end of support period. The Acronis backup image allows restoration of controller to delivered state, which is NI OEM XP Pro SP2. An NI OEM XP Pro CoA is included on a NI chassis tag plate with fasteners. The NI DAQmx and device drivers software kit has been installed (Feb 2011 edition- see screen shot of NI software installed, and note that SignalExpress 2010 is installed for evaluation only and may not operate if expired, and may not operate unless buyer provides serial number and any other information necessary to activate product- we are not providing any activation information for SignalExpress 2010. DAQmx and device driver software is fully enabled and does not require activation. The GPIB and ExpressCard/32 slot were both tested for proper operation, the GPIB interface using X13 cable properly detected and communicated with GPIB device on bus, and a dual-port FireWire card was tested in the ExpressCard slot where it was properly detected, installed and operated properly; all USB ports, and Ethernet were fully tested. The controller was installed in chassis and used to detect, install and control various PXI modules in PXI-1042Q chassis, the controller worked without issue (see screen shot of MAX device list). Included is Microsoft Windows 7 Pro OEM SP1 32-bit installation disk with CoA for controller software update if desired. The PXI-8108 supports Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, and NI specifies use of Vista drivers for this purpose - see NI notes/instructions for installation of Windows 7 on the controller for directions, and to locate and download peripheral drivers (we will not provide any update support). In summary, this listing includes the following items (nothing else is included): The NI PXI-8108 embedded controller with assembly part # 189410E-712L (RoHS compliant), same controller shown, with 80GB hard drive and 1GB RAM, operating and configured as described and shown; NI OEM XP Pro CoA on NI PXI chassis tag plate with fasteners; Microsoft Windows 7 Professional OEM SP1 32-bit new/full installation package with unused/new CoA. From NI- The NI PXI-8108 is a high-performance Intel Core 2 Duo T9400-based embedded controller for use in PXI and CompactPCI systems. With its 2.53 GHz dual-core processor and 800 MHz DDR2 memory, the PXI-8108 is ideal for modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications. 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 NI 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. Up to 25 percent higher performance than the PXI-8106 1 GB (1 x 1 GB DIMM) 800 MHz DDR2 RAM standard, 4 GB maximum 10/100/1000BASE-TX (gigabit) Ethernet, ExpressCard/34 slot, and 4 Hi-Speed USB ports Integrated hard drive, GPIB, serial, and other peripheral I/O Windows OS and drivers already installed The PXI-8108 controller, chassis tag plate with XP CoA, and new OEM Win 7 Pro SP1 software w/CoA will be well packaged and sent in box via FedEx 2-Day Express, signature required, insured. The tracking # will be entered into ebay and Paypal systems after shipment.
PXI-8108, high-performance embedded real-time controller, with XP Pro SP3, fully tested, in good working condition. The controller ships with NI Vista/XP Pro CoA sticker on PXI chassis plate (with fasteners). Included is a Windows 7 Pro OEM DVD kit with CoA, which the controller supports (per NI, must use Vista controller peripheral drivers for Win 7- see NI website). The PXI-8108 has a 80GB hard drive and 1GB memory (up to 4GB supported). NI DAQmx and device driver software is installed which properly detected, installed, and allowed interaction with variety of PXI modules in a PXI-1042Q chassis. The GPIB interface was tested using a NI X13 cable (not included), and communicated with GPIB instrument (see screen shot). The hard drive has Acronis backup of original NI OEM XP SP2 installation. The controller has minor cosmetic wear that will not affect function or performance. All photos are of the unit for sale, or screen shots from the operating unit.
