New PXIe chassis from Keysight
9 November 2016
Test & Measurement
Keysight Technologies has rolled out three new PXIe chassis with different sizes and performance characteristics. The new chassis include a 10-slot Gen 3 chassis designed for high-performance, benchtop and R&D applications; cost-effective 5-slot Gen 1 chassis; and 18-slot Gen 2 chassis, with improved power supply and new features which improve system integration.
Optimised for module cooling and high performance, the Gen 3 M9010A 10-slot chassis delivers industry-leading sound power levels combined with exceptional per-slot cooling to meet the demands of high-performance PXIe modules. The 10-slot chassis provides a superior platform for small channel-count R&D applications, while the previously introduced Gen 3 M9019A 18-slot chassis enables test of multi-channel, high-performance manufacturing applications, such as MIMO and PA/FEM. When used with Keysight’s PXIe high-performance system modules and PC host adaptors, the Gen 3 PXI chassis enable up to 16 GBps system bandwidth to an external PC.
The M9005A PXIe 5-slot chassis is perfect for small, low-cost applications such as low-channel count VNA systems. It provides an integrated system module with a x1 cable interface to an external PC; three hybrid and two PXIe slots; and Gen 1, x1 backplane performance.
The M9018B Gen 2 PXIe 18-slot chassis is a cost-effective platform to build large systems when Gen 3 performance is not required. The M9018B is an updated version of the M9018A and provides an all-hybrid, Gen 2 backplane with a mix of x4 and x8 links to each slot; a high-performance cooling system; two front panel SMB trigger ports providing access to PXI Trig (0:7); one-button power control for multi-chassis power sequencing for large configurations; and a new power supply to provide more power for next-generation PXIe modules.
