Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI
a real-time OS, you must purchase a LabVIEW Real-Time run-time PXI Hardware for Real-Time Applications
license with your Windows-based controller.
The modularity of PXI and open connectivity of LabVIEW make it
easy to integrate a variety of I/O within your application. You can
take advantage of the timing and triggering functionality of PXI to
Integration with Mac OS X
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module and PXI are your solution for synchronize measurements across several I/O devices, increasing the
data acquisition, GPIB, serial, and Ethernet communication within performance of your real-time system.

PXI-8176 RT
The PXI-8176 RT is a high-performance PXI NI-VISA to integrate third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules in your
embedded controller capable of running a application. In addition, the RT Series PXI controllers include built-in

hardware you can use with LabVIEW Real-Time, with page references
for additional information.
PXI-8175 RT
The PXI-8175 RT contains an 866 MHz
Intel Pentium III processor capable of
running a single PID loop at 30 kHz.

PXI-8145 RT
The PXI-8145 RT controller is ideal for
low-cost, real-time applications. This series
of PXI controllers includes a low-power
Pentium 266 MHz processor capable of
running a single PID loop at up to 6 kHz.
The controllers module can withstand
higher vibration and shock because it
uses nonvolatile CompactFlash memory.
With the single-board architecture and
low-power processor, NI built this controller
for embedded applications where space
is limited.
