Description
The Part Number 187387A-01 refers to a PXI Chassis categorized under the model PXI-1000. This particular chassis boasts an 8-Slot capacity, providing ample space for various modules. It is equipped with a 300 W power supply, ensuring sufficient power for most applications. The chassis features a 3U-sized design, making it compact and suitable for standard rack mounting.
One of the key specifications of the PXI-1000 is its AC Input capability, which includes universal, auto frequency, and auto-voltage ranging, allowing for versatile and global usage without the need for different power sources. The power supply is designed with reliability in mind, boasting an impressive Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 90,000 hours, ensuring long-term operation without failure.
The front panel of the PXI-1000 includes an On/Off (standby) switch, providing easy and convenient control over the power state of the chassis. It is compatible with both Compact PCI and PXI modules, offering flexibility in module selection and system configuration. The chassis designates Slot 1 for the system controller, ensuring optimal system management and performance.
Additionally, the PXI-1000 features a special Star Trigger Slot (ST) in Slot 2, designed for synchronized operations among modules. The system clock signal, PXI_CLK10 (10 MHz), is distributed to each peripheral slot, facilitating precise timing and synchronization across the system. An external clock can be connected via the PXI_CLK10_IN pin, allowing for external timing sources to be utilized.
The chassis also includes a fan speed selector, which can be adjusted between HI and LO settings via a switch located on the rear panel, providing control over cooling based on system requirements. Despite its advanced features, it has been announced by National Instruments that this model is obsolete, but it remains available at Apex Waves, offering a valuable option for those in need of this specific chassis type.
