3U Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2GHz Processor-based PXI Controller
PXI-3950
Cable Accessory
Introduction
The ADLINK PXI-3950 PXI embedded controller is based on the Intel® Core™2 Duo and specifically designed for hybrid PXI
based testing systems by providing a rugged and stable operating environment for a variety test and measurement applications.
Hybrid PXI-based testing systems are typically composed of a PXI platform and diversified stand-alone instruments for complex
testing tasks. The PXI-3950 provides plenty of interfaces, including GPIB, USB, and COM ports, for connecting and controlling
instruments. The PXI-3950 also provides dual Gigabit Ethernet ports—one for a LAN connection and the other for controlling
next-generation LXI instruments. Combining Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz processor, the GME965 chipset, and 4 GB of
667 MHz DDR2 memory, the PXI-3950 provides two computing engines on a single processor that can execute two indepen-
dent tasks at the same time in a multi-tasking environment.
