Does the new Pentium-M controller support RT?

[mhjp]

Does anyone know when RT will be supported on the new Pentium-M PXI controller? I am running IMAQ applications on older PXI RT controllers (PXI-8176RT) but I'm trying to increase the test throuput by switching to faster controllers.

Hi mhig,

The release date of new Pentium-M PXI controller to be supported by RT is still not confirmed. However, R&D is working on it to be released. I have asked the R&D, so I might be able to tell you the approximate month of the release. I will post up another messege once I get any reply from the R&D.

Also you have mentioned about increasing the test througput and yes new Pentium-M controller will have higher spec.; however, that will depend where is your bottleneck is. You might have heard about PCIe-1429. If the bottleneck would be the transfer rate from the camera to the computer, then PCIe-1429 could also be your solution. Yet since it uses PCI express bus, there are no board for the PXI.

I will try to post up as soon as I get any new information.
