National instruments [ni] offers pxi, pxi express and pxi real-time embedded controllers based on the 2.16ghz intel core 2 duo processor t7400. The pxi-8106 and ni pxie-8106 controllers deliver a performance improvement of more than 100 per cent compared to systems running traditional single-core processors. With two cores, or computing engines, in one processor, these can simultaneously execute two computing tasks. The pxi-8106 rt can be used with ni lab view real-time module for deterministic and reliable measurement and control applications.
