Description
The Agilent Technologies V743/100 embedded computer
(E1498A) is a C-size, 1-slot, VXI module. This high-
performance message-based computer uses HewlettPackard’s PA-RISC technology to deliver extraordinary
performance and direct VXI access at a very competitive
price.
Developed specifically as an embedded HP-UX (UNIX)
computer for VXI, the V743 computer provides the high I/O
performance of direct VXI backplane support, the space
savings of an embedded computer, and the high power and
speed of HP PA-RISC all in an HP-UX environment. The
V743 supports all VXI addressing modes (A16, A24, and
A32), programmable interrupt handler, single-channel DMA
for VXI extended memory devices, and a 1 MB dual-ported
memory buffer for high-speed data acquisition.
Note: You may use only one embedded computer in a
system.
The V743/100, with its high-speed 100 MHz 7100LC PA - RISC
processor, is ideal for development of run-time applications.
This model is completely compatible with other HP 9000
Series 700 workstations and computers. However, it
requires HP-UX releases 9.05 and later. With HP-UX, you
can set up industry-standard networking, windowing
systems, and languages. Databases and a full range of VXIrelated software are available for automated test
applications.
-compatible with HP-UX drivers
