National Instruments Brings High-Performance, Real-Time Capabilities to Desktop Computers
AUSTIN, Texas - June 3, 2003 - National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced the release of the NI PCI-7041/6040E board, its fastest plug-in hardware for real-time measurement and control applications embedded in desktop computers. Using the NI LabVIEW 7 Real-Time Module and the graphical development environment, engineers can quickly create real-time applications and download them onto this new hardware.
The PCI-7041/6040E real-time board delivers high-speed, deterministic and reliable performance with a dedicated onboard 700 MHz Pentium III processor capable of loop rates up to 26 kHz. With its high-performance processor, this real-time board can run up to 17 times faster than previous NI plug-in RT Series boards. Control engineers also can use it to build customized,
integrated real-time applications that run independent of the operating system on the host PC, protecting the application from system interruptions. When combined with the LabVIEW graphical development environment, engineers have the tools they need to develop and run complex models for real-time applications such as control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
The 32 MB of non-volatile CompactFlash memory on the PCI-7041/6040E real-time board stores embedded software, the user application and collected data, while a built in RS-232 serial port provides communication to peripheral devices such as serial-based I/O modules. With the new stand-alone features on this real-time board, engineers can even create deterministic applications that can run on a passive PCI backplane, completely independent of a host machine.
