National Instruments PXIe-8880 controller

The NI PXIe-8880 is a high-performance Intel Xeon E5-2618L v3 processor-based embedded controller for use in PXI Express systems. It features a 2.3 GHz base frequency (3.4 GHz single-core, Turbo Boost mode) eight-core processor with up to 16 hyper-threaded virtual cores and the triple-channel 1866 MHz DDR4 memory.

The embedded PXI Express controller is suitable for high-performance, high-throughput and computationally intensive test and measurement applications such as 5G cellular research, semiconductor production test and RF record and playback, as well as any application for which test time and time to market are important. Because of the CPU’s multicore nature, the embedded controller is particularly useful when paired with system design software that is optimised for parallel processing such as LabVIEW and TestStand.
