Overview
The PXI-8170 Series controller is a 3U PXI/CompactPCI embedded 
computer based on the Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) bus 
and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA). The computer is a 
high-performance, easy-to-use platform for controlling PCI systems, 
featuring complete PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI) functionality 
through interactive utilities and C function calls
Figure 1-1 shows a PXI-8170 module. Refer to Appendix E, 
module.
The PXI-8170 is a custom computer that you install directly in the system 
controller slot of your PXI mainframe. An embedded computer can take 
full advantage of the PXI high-performance backplane capabilities.
The PXI-8170 is compatible with PC-compatible software tools, the 
National Instruments LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI application 
software, and the NI-VISA, NI-488.2M, and NI-DAQ software.
