Part Number: PXI-8840
National Instruments presents the PXI-8840, a high-performance PXI controller designed to support demanding measurement and data acquisition applications. This compact 3U PXI module integrates a quad-core Intel processor, available in either the Core i5-4400E or the Core i7-5700EQ variant, offering up to 2.6 GHz processing power and an on-die L2 cache of 3 MB. The PXI-8840 supports a maximum bandwidth of 8 GB/s, ensuring efficient data handling and enhanced processing capabilities for complex multitasking environments. Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports and six USB ports (two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0), this controller provides ample peripheral connectivity options.

The PXI-8840 features an integrated 320 GB hard disk, one RS-232 serial port, and an ExpressCard/34 slot for additional flexibility. Furthermore, it is designed to harness Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, enabling each of the four physical cores to act as two virtual cores, resulting in a total of eight virtual cores. This architecture benefits applications that can leverage multithreading, particularly when combined with development environments like NI LabVIEW.

Designed for versatility, the controller maintains a recommended operating temperature range of 5 °C to 50 °C, with an optional extended range of 0 °C to 55 °C. A storage temperature range of -40 °C to 65 °C, with an extended option of -40 °C to 71 °C, ensures reliability in varied environmental conditions. Weighing just 2.77 lb., the PXI-8840 is a robust solution for industrial automation tasks, backed by a three-year warranty. For additional technical documentation, user and maintenance manuals are readily available for download. Please contact a sales representative for pricing information.
