Agilent Technologies intros M9036A modular PXIe Embedded Controller
Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the M9036A modular PXIe embedded controller. The M9036A is a compact, three-slot controller designed to take advantage of the x8 PCI Express links when using the Agilent M9018A PXIe chassis.
Together, the M9036A controller and M9018A chassis provide customers with the highest-throughput PXI test platform for peer-to-peer applications. This platform is capable of integrating legacy PXI instruments into the hybrid slots of the chassis while providing up to 8 GB/sec of system bandwidth with dual x8 express links to handle the most demanding RF, uW and streaming applications such as the need to transfer data between cards without involving the controller. The controller can also operate in a four-link configuration, providing compatibility with existing PXIe chassis.
The M9036A was designed using an Intel Core i5 2.4-GHz dual-core processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, with a removable 160-GB solid-state drive and 4 GB of RAM (upgradable to 8 GB) in the standard configuration. This configuration gives customers working in multitasking environments the required performance, optimum flexibility and increased reliability compared to conventional rotating hard drives.
Carla Feldman, Marketing Manager, Agilent's Modular Product Operation said, "The new PXIe embedded PC controller is fully PXI compliant and is a perfect complement for the Agilent M9018A PXIe chassis, enabling customers to take advantage of the fast data-transfer rates across the backplane. The M9036A is designed to support customers who are looking for a flexible, transportable and fully integrated PXI test setup."
The M9036A starts at $6,600 and can be ordered now.
