FCP280 RH924YA High Resolution Models

National Instruments has introduced the FCP280 RH924YA embedded controller, a 3U quad-core embedded controller for PXI systems. With a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9100, up to 4GB MHz Ddr2 Ram and high-performance 7200RPM drives, it is also the industry’s fastest embedded controller in the 3UPXI class. The PXI-8110 offers up to 80% performance improvement over dual-core controllers, which have similar CPU clock frequencies and are optimised for applications using the controller’s four processing cores. Computer processor manufacturers are continuing to add more CPU cores to their processors to increase computing power.

When the FCP280 RH924YA used a traditional text-based programming language, engineers who wanted to take advantage of this computing power to develop advanced test, measurement and control applications often face the challenge of using complex software primitives and programming models. However, engineers and scientists can take advantage of multi-threaded application development by combining the multi-core support and parallelism of National Instruments’ Labour Graphics System Design Software with the advanced features of the FCP280 RH924YA controller. Because the new controller features a platform where an application can distribute its processing load across four CPU cores simultaneously.
