The current spare is a PXIe-8840 Quad-Core, which is no longer recommended for new designs. The replacement is a PXIe-8861 RT.<br><br>Just for reference here is the pricing of those controllers:<br><br>PXIe-8840 Quad-Core RT = $ 10,420.00<br>PXIe-8861 RT = $ 8,390.00<br><br>The 8861 has a newer generation CPU with more performance over the 8840. Along with the lower pricing I don't see any reason not to purchase that instead as we've never used the ExpressCard slot for anything and that's really the only functional difference.<br><br>Currently the lead time is 80-85 days.<br><br>> On Sep 28, 2022, at 9:43 PM, Hovanes Egiyan <hovanes@jlab.org> wrote:<br>> <br>> Hi,<br>> Let's have a Hall D controls meeting on Thursday, September 29 at 10:00am to touch base, we have not have one of these for a couple of months.
