Description
The PXI Chassis identified by part numbers 779218-01 and 192011A-01 falls under the category of PXI Chassis with the model PXI-1044. This model features a 14-slot PXI frame designed to accommodate a variety of modules. It boasts a robust 500 W aggregate power supply, which is removable for easy maintenance or replacement. Each slot in the chassis has a cooling capacity of 25 W, ensuring that modules operate within their temperature specifications even under full load.
The chassis is equipped with a 10 MHz system clock (PXI_CLK10), providing synchronization capabilities for timing-sensitive applications. It supports a maximum system bandwidth of 132 MB/s, allowing for high-speed data transfer between modules. For versatile installation options, the chassis offers rack mountable configurations, a carrying handle for portability, and tilted feet for stable bench-top use.
Compatibility with both PXI and CompactPCI 3U modules is ensured, making this chassis a flexible solution for a wide range of applications. Despite its powerful capabilities, the chassis maintains a low acoustic emission level of 49 dBA, minimizing noise in the working environment. A front-panel LED provides immediate visual indication of power supply failures, enhancing the reliability of the system.
Configuration and management of the chassis can be easily done through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) software, allowing for streamlined setup and maintenance. Weighing 27.8 lbs and measuring 6.97 x 17.54 x 17.12 inches, the PXI-1044 offers a compact yet powerful solution for modular instrumentation. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –20 to 70 °C. Lastly, the chassis’s mature status has been announced, with availability for purchase and repairs provided by Apex Waves.
