Description
The 186469B-02 PXI-8212 by National Instruments is a combined Ethernet and GPIB interface designed for CompactPCI and PXI systems, offering high performance and low cost. Featuring the NI TNT4882C ASIC for increased data transfer rates and bus-level diagnostics, this interface meets multiple specifications and is now available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves.
186469B-02 PXI-8212 is a combined Ethernet and GPIB interface by National Instruments. Designed for compatibility with CompactPCI and PXI based systems, this low-cost, high-performance module includes a standard Fast Ethernet interface, saving valuable slots in a PXI system. Equipped with the NI TNT4882C ASIC, the PXI-8212 provides IEEE 488.2 functionality, including Controller, Talker, and Listener functions. The ASIC also features FIFO buffers and a GPIB monitor port for bus-level diagnostics, increasing data transfer rates up to 8 Mbytes/s using the HS488 protocol. Complying with PXI, CompactPCI, IEEE 488.1 and 488.2 specifications, the interface also includes a 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet interface built to EEE 803.2u Fast Ethernet Specifications. Weighing 140g and measuring 16.0 by 10.0 cm, the 3U module requires 2 amps at +5 VDC and consumes 10 Watts of power. Although the PXI-8212 is now considered obsolete by National Instruments, Apex Waves offers the part for purchase and repairs. Installation is simple with plug and play functionality and full software configuration capabilities.
