Description
The National Instruments PXIe-1078 is a state-of-the-art PXI Chassis designed for various applications requiring high-speed data processing and system scalability. Manufactured by National Instruments, a leader in automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software, the PXIe-1078 stands out for its robust build and advanced technical specifications.
The chassis is part of the PXI category, offering 9 AC slots for module installation, including a 4-slot wide system controller slot, 3 PXI Express slots, and 5 PXI Hybrid slots. This configuration provides ample space and flexibility for integrating different modules according to system requirements.
One of the key features of the PXIe-1078 is its backplane connectivity, which includes 3 PCI Express links and a single x1 PCIe link to a PCIe to PCI translation bridge, facilitating high-speed data transfer rates of 250 MB/s single direction per link. This chassis is designed to comply with the rigorous PXI timing and synchronization standards, ensuring precise and reliable operation.
The reference clock accuracy of the PXIe-1078 is impressive, at +/-25 ppm, with less than 3 ps, while the maximum slot to slot skew is limited to 100 ps, further highlighting its suitability for applications requiring high precision.
An innovative feature of the PXIe-1078 is its fan speed selector, which can be set to AUTO or HIGH, allowing users to optimize cooling based on the operational load, thereby enhancing the longevity of the chassis and the modules it houses.
The chassis is relatively lightweight, at 16.6 lb, and has compact dimensions of 6.97 x 14 x 8.43 inches, making it suitable for desktop use or easy integration into existing rack systems.
For software compatibility, it requires PXI Platform Services 2.0 or higher, ensuring that the chassis can be used with the latest PXI modules and software developments.
The PXIe-1078 also comes with a range of accessories,
