The Adlink PXI-3950-0040 is a 3U PXI system controller that integrates CPU, memory, and storage directly within the PXI chassis, eliminating external PC dependencies for measurement and automation applications. Built around an Intel Core2 Duo T7500 processor running at 2.2 GHz, this embedded controller delivers deterministic performance in hybrid PXI-based test systems. The unit ships with 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, expandable via one SO-DIMM socket, and includes a 320 GB SATA hard drive at 7200 RPM, with optional CompactFlash support for alternative storage configurations.
