Description
The PXI-1045 is a high-performance PXI Chassis characterized by its 18-slot capacity, designed to accommodate a variety of modules for complex test and measurement systems. The part numbers associated with this chassis include 778645-01, 778644-01, and 778644-02, ensuring a range of options for specific requirements.
This chassis falls under the category of PXI Chassis, explicitly designed for modular instrumentation systems. It supports a system bandwidth of 132 MB/s, enabling fast data transfer rates that are crucial for high-speed testing environments. The PXI-1045 also features a low-jitter 10 MHz reference clock, ensuring synchronization across modules with a clock skew between slots of less than 250 picoseconds.
The software configuration of the PXI-1045 is managed through NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), providing an intuitive interface for system setup and management. Additionally, it offers flexible fan speed settings, including AUTO and HIGH, to adapt to various operational demands. The cooling capacity varies with the fan speed, offering 25 W per slot at low speed and slightly less at high speed, with 24 W per slot.
For those looking to ensure the chassis’s longevity and operational efficiency, the rack mounting kits are an essential accessory. The front rack mounting kit has a part number of 778644-01, and the rear kit is identified by 778645-02. Moreover, in the event of a power supply failure, the replacement part number is 778647-01, facilitating quick and straightforward maintenance.
The PXI-1045 has a substantial yet manageable weight of 27.8 lb and dimensions of 6.97 x 17.54 x 17.12 inches, making it suitable for both lab and rack-mounted applications. Despite its advanced features, it has been announced to have a mature status, but it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term availability and support for users.
