The NI VXIpc-871B is a C-size embedded VXIbus controller built around a 1.266 GHz Pentium III processor and Intel 815E chipset. It occupies two VXI C-size slots in Slot 0 and delivers direct control of VXI registers, memory, interrupts, and triggers. This controller bridges instrumentation systems with standard PC software, supporting four operating system configurations: no OS, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows XP.
