NI (Nasdaq: NATI), the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world's greatest engineering challenges, announced today a new Intel Xeon-based PXI Express controller (PXIe-8880) and chassis (PXIe-1085). The combination of the 8-core, server-class processor and full system bandwidth of 24 GB/s delivers breakthrough performance for computationally intensive and highly parallel applications such as RF test, semiconductor test, and 5G prototyping. With the flexibility of the PXI platform, customers can replace previous generation controllers with PXIe-8880 embedded controller and see up to double the performance in their test and measurement applications.
"Over the past two decades, we have witnessed a gradual shift from traditional instrumentation in favor of the PXI platform for automated test," said Jessy Cavazos, Industry Manager for Measurement and Instrumentation at Frost & Sullivan. "With the addition of Intel's Xeon technology, we expect the adoption of PXI to only increase for high-performance applications."
NI collaborated with Intel to bring the server-class processing power of Xeon technology to the test and measurement market. The embedded controller features 8 cores, up to 24 GB of DDR4 memory, and 24 lanes of PCI Express Gen 3 connectivity to the backplane. This provides engineers and scientists with twice the processing power and bandwidth in comparison to previous generation controllers. In addition to the controller, the new 18-slot chassis incorporates PCI Express Gen 3 technology with 8 lanes per slot for a matched total system bandwidth of 24 GB/s, enabling any test and measurement system to scale well into the future.
Intel remarked, "NI and Intel have delivered the latest processing technology to automated test through PXI for almost two decades, and this Xeon processor is an exciting new milestone for our collaboration. The era of the Internet of Things requires the most possible processing power to reduce time to market and lower the cost of test, and NI's approach with PXI is critical towards that goal."
When paired with system design software such as LabVIEW, this next generation PXI controller and chassis combination enables engineers and scientists to turn 24 GB/s of test and measurement data into readily usable insight.
