Description
The PXIe-1078 chassis is a product of National Instruments, a renowned manufacturer in the field of testing and measurement equipment. This model is designed to accommodate a variety of testing and measurement needs with its versatile specifications.
The chassis supports a total of 9 slots, which include a 4-slot wide system controller slot and 8 peripheral slots. This configuration allows for significant flexibility in system design and expansion. Of these slots, 3 are PXI Express slots, and 5 are PXI Hybrid slots, ensuring compatibility with both PXI and PXI Express modules. This compatibility is further enhanced by the chassis’s support for PXI Platform Services 2.0 or higher, ensuring that users have access to the latest software features and functionalities.
Backplane connectivity in the PXIe-1078 is robust, featuring 3 PCI Express links at 250 MB/s single direction per link, along with a x1 PCIe link to PCI translation bridge. This ensures high-speed data transfer and efficient communication between modules.
The chassis is also equipped with various accessories to facilitate ease of use and integration into different environments. These include a 240V, 10A power cord (for specific part numbers), a 9-slot PXI Express Chassis, a PXI-103x and PXIe-107x side handle rubber kit, a Rack Mount Kit, and a Power Cord for U.S. standard 120 VAC outlets. These accessories ensure that the chassis can be set up and operational with minimal hassle.
In terms of performance, the PXIe-1078 excels in timing and synchronization, featuring a 10 MHz reference clock with +/-25 ppm accuracy, less than 3 ps skew, and a maximum slot to slot skew of 100 ps. This precision is critical for applications requiring high timing accuracy and synchronization between modules.
The chassis also boasts advanced cooling features, including filler panels for unused slots and an AUTO/HIGH fan speed selector, ensuring that the system remains at an optimal temperature even under heavy load.
Finally, the PXIe-1078 is designed with practicality in mind, weighing in at
Question 1: How many slots does the PXIe-1078 chassis have? Question 2: What types of slots are available in the PXIe-1078? Question 3: What is the data transfer rate of the PCI Express links? Question 4: What kind of power cord does the PXIe-1078 include? Question 5: What is the accuracy of the 10 MHz reference clock?
