18-slot PXI/CompactPCI chassis for high slot-count measurement and automation applications
23 May 2001
Test & Measurement
Engineers can now integrate up to 18 PXI/CompactPCI modules into a compact, rack-mountable, tightly synchronised measurement and automation system with National Instruments' PXI-1006 3U chassis. The PXI-1006 incorporates an 18-slot PXI backplane, a removable 600 W power supply and three 130 CFM fans. The chassis has an advanced cooling design, extended star trigger bus and an autosensing 10 MHz clock to ensure synchronisation among all peripheral slots.
With two PXI-to-PXI bridges, the PXI-1006 backplane transparently extends both the PXI bus and the timing and triggering signals to all 18-slots while maintaining the full 132 Mbps bgandwidth defined by the PXI specification. NI designed the PXI-1006 with airflow deflectors and venting to ensure that each of the 18 slots in the chassis receives more uniform airflow. This reduces the operating temperature and prolongs system life.
The +3,3, +5 and +12 V d.c. signals are also present on the connector so engineers can monitor power in the chassis or can power an external device.
