PXI embedded controller with 4th generation Intel Core i7 Processor!

Their new PXIe-3985, its highest performing 3U PXIe embedded controller has been released by AdLink. It is equipped with the quad-core 4th gen. Intel® Core™ i7-4700EQ processor and operating at up to 3.4 GHz clock frequency (in single-core Turbo Boost Mode). With four links x4 or two links x16 and x8 PCI Express gen 2 link capability, up to 8 GB/s of total system throughput and up to 16 GB of DDR3L 1600 MHz RAM, the PXIe-3985 is the perfect choice for applications requiring intensive data analysis or processing and high-speed data streaming, such as in wireless, radar, or RF testing environments.

“As a sponsor member of the PXI System Alliance, ADLINK is continuously expanding its portfolio of PXI and PXI Express offerings with new generation Intel processors. We’re dedicated to providing test and measurement operators with the means to overcome testing task challenges at the lowest possible time to market.’’ stated Catherine Wu, Senior Product Director of ADLINK's Measurement and Automation Product Segment. “ADLINK leads the field in its introduction of the PXIe-3985 4th gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor-based controller. With the highest CPU and graphic performance on the market, we’re helping customers to increase their testing throughput and accelerate the testing process.’’

Based on PCI Express technology, the ADLINK PXIe-3985 can offer four links x4 or two links x16 and x8 PXI Express link capability for interfacing with a PXI Express chassis backplane. When configured in this combination, with a high performance PXI Express chassis such as the ADLINK 3U 18-slot PXES-2780 chassis, maximum system throughput of up to 8 GB/s is enabled, providing an effective solution for high bandwidth applications requiring intensive data analysis or processing and data streaming. In addition the PXIe-3985 features up to 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L memory capacity, ideal for seamless execution in memory-intensive applications.

The ADLINK PXIe-3985 provides versatile I/O capability, including dual DisplayPort connectors with 4K 2K support, dual GbE ports, GPIB, four USB 2.0 ports, dual hi-speed USB 3.0 ports and trigger I/O for advanced PXI trigger functions. Easy connection with external standalone instruments or devices and innovative design such as dual BIOS backup, reduce maintenance efforts, with fast and easy swapping of battery, storage device, and SODIMM modules all deliver high availability in testing systems.

The PXIe-3985, supporting Windows 7 32/64-bit operating systems, is optimized when installed in the ADLINK 3U high capacity 18-slot PXES-2780 chassis or compact 9-slot PXES-2590 chassis, are winning combinations for a wide variety of testing and measurement applications.
