The NI PXI-8195 is a single-slot embedded controller for PXI systems, delivering high-performance computing within modular chassis architectures. Built around a 1.5 GHz Intel Pentium M 760 processor with 2 MB L2 cache, it executes demanding data acquisition, test automation, and industrial control tasks with direct system management capabilities. The controller integrates DDR2 SDRAM up to 2 GB, 2.5-inch SATA/SSD storage, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for networked operation. Its PCI-based PXI interface includes 8 bidirectional trigger lines, enabling tight synchronization with peripheral modules across the chassis.
