Description
The PXI-1031 PXI Chassis, bearing part numbers 778932-01 and 190871M-01L, falls under the category of PXI Chassis. This model features 4 slots for module integration and adheres to the 3U form factor, making it a compact and efficient solution for modular instrumentation systems. The chassis is equipped with a universal AC power supply capable of delivering 300 W, ensuring that it can accommodate a wide range of power requirements globally.
To maintain optimal operating temperatures, the PXI-1031 incorporates an auto/high temperature-controlled fan speed as its cooling feature. This innovative design helps manage the chassis’s thermal performance effectively, with acoustic noise emissions kept as low as 35 dBA. Additionally, each slot in the chassis can support a cooling capacity of 25 W, ensuring that modules operate within their specified temperature ranges for reliable performance.
Compatibility is a key strength of the PXI-1031, as it supports both 3U PXI and CompactPCI Modules. This makes the chassis a versatile option for a wide range of applications and system configurations. To facilitate precise timing and synchronization among modules, the chassis offers 8 PXI trigger lines.
Durability and reliability are further enhanced by the chassis’s HALT-tested design, which ensures it can withstand harsh environments and rigorous use. The PXI-1031 is lightweight, weighing in at 11 lbs., and has compact dimensions of 6.97 x 10.12 x 8.38 inches, making it easy to integrate into various setups without requiring extensive space.
An additional feature of this chassis is its three-position inlet for the cord set ground line, which provides flexibility in connecting and grounding the chassis. National Instruments has declared the PXI-1031 as having a mature status, indicating that it is a well-established and reliable choice for PXI systems. Despite this designation, the PXI-1031 remains available for purchase and repairs at Apex Waves
