PXI-3950 Front Panel

# 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 independent tasks at the same time in a multi-tasking environment.
