Description
The PXI-1045 is a high-performance PXI Chassis designed to meet various testing and measurement needs. The model comes with part numbers 778645-01, 778644-01, and 778644-02, indicating specific configurations or variations available for this model.
This chassis falls under the category of PXI Chassis and boasts an impressive 18-slot capacity, which allows for significant expansion and flexibility in system design. It supports a system bandwidth of up to 132 MB/s, ensuring quick data transfer rates that can significantly improve overall system performance.
An important feature of the PXI-1045 is its 10 MHz low-jitter reference clock, which provides a stable timing source critical for synchronization across multiple instruments. Moreover, the framework reference clock skew is maintained at <250 ps between slots, further enhancing measurement accuracy and system reliability.
For connectivity, the chassis includes 2 BNC I/O connectors (REF IN and OUT), allowing for easy integration with external reference signals or synchronization with other equipment. The fan cooling capacity is designed to be adaptable, offering 25 W per slot at low settings and 24 W per slot at high settings, ensuring that the system remains cool even under heavy load.
The fan speed selector can be set to AUTO or HIGH, giving users control over cooling based on the specific requirements of their application. In case of power supply issues, the replacement AC power supply part number is 778647-01, ensuring that users can easily find and replace the power supply if needed.
The physical characteristics of the PXI-1045 include a weight of 27.8 lb and dimensions of 6.97 x 17.54 x 17.12 inches, making it a substantial yet manageable piece of equipment for most lab settings. It is compatible with NI PXI chassis software and can be configured using NI MAX, which simplifies setup and configuration.
Lastly, the PXI-1045 has been announced by National Instruments as having achieved mature status. Despite this, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to rely on this robust and versatile chassis for their testing and measurement needs.
