PXI chassis hosts high-channel-count systems

National Instruments product story

Nov 17, 2003
A new software-configurable 18-slot PXI chassis enables engineers to programmatically configure precise timing and synchronisation signals between modular instruments.
A new software-configurable 18-slot PXI chassis enables engineers to programmatically configure precise timing and synchronisation signals between modular instruments.
With configuration and driver software such as NI Measurement and Automation Explorer and NI-DAQ 7, engineers can increase overall system performance and accelerate test times by configuring the trigger routing modules on the backplane of the chassis to reserve trigger lines or route triggers to and from any of the chassis' three bus segments.
The new NI PXI-1045 18-slot chassis features a wide operating temperature range of 0 to 55C for environments with extended temperature conditions.
The CompactPCI-compatible chassis also features a high-precision, low-jitter 10MHz reference clock with slot-to-slot skew of less than 250ps for device synchronisation.
For importing or exporting system reference clocks, the rear of the chassis includes two BNC I/O connectors.
Engineers can configure up to 5000 channels of 24bit dynamic signal acquisition by synchronising multiple PXI-1045 chassis with the NI PXI-6653 timing and synchronisation module.
For secure 19in rack mounting, the PXI-1045 chassis offers optional front and rear rack mount kits.
The new chassis is ideal for test and measurement applications requiring software configurable triggering, high channel counts and tight synchronisation between high-performance modular instruments.
Its extended operating range temperature makes it well suited for applications in military/aerospace, manufacturing test and industrial monitoring.
The chassis works with all 3U PXI hardware devices and NI software including LabView 7 Express graphical development environment, TestStand test management software and Measurement Studio for Visual Studio.NET.
