National Instruments NI PXIe-8135 embedded controller

National Instruments has introduced the NI PXIe-8135, which features the quad-core 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor and USB 3.0 connectivity. The NI PXIe-8135 helps engineers achieve shorter test times and increase automated test throughput, further advancing PXI instrumentation for high-performance test, measurement and control applications.

The use of the 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor with up to a 3.3 GHz clock provides improved performance (up to 85% higher than previously) and next-generation I/O technologies to help meet the intensive processing demands of the latest automated test and control applications.

USB 3.0 connectivity offers up to 10 times faster instrument communication for transferring and storing data externally. Four PCI Express x4 Gen 2 links interface the embedded controller to the chassis backplane providing up to 8 GBps of system throughput for high-bandwidth streaming applications.
