Description
The PXI-1044 PXI Chassis, with part numbers 779218-01 and 192011A-01, serves as a robust platform for modular instrumentation. This chassis falls under the category of PXI Chassis, providing a solid foundation for test and measurement setups. It boasts a significant slot capacity, accommodating up to 14 slots, which allows for a versatile range of module integrations.
One of the key features of the PXI-1044 is its power supply, which offers 500 W of aggregate power. This power capability is complemented by a field-removable design, ensuring easy substitution and minimal downtime, with a mean time to repair of under five minutes. Each slot in the chassis has a cooling capacity of 25 W, ensuring that modules operate within their optimal temperature ranges.
The chassis is designed with precision in mind, featuring a system clock that operates at 10 MHz (PXI_CLK10) and boasts an impressive synchronization capability with under 250 ps slew between slots. This precision supports a maximum system bandwidth of 132 MB/s, facilitating efficient data transfer and processing within the system.
For ease of use and versatility, the PXI-1044 is rack mountable and includes a carrying handle and tilted feet, making it suitable for both bench-top and rack-mounted applications. It is compatible with both PXI and CompactPCI 3U modules, highlighting its flexibility in system configuration. Despite its powerful features, the chassis maintains a low acoustic emission level of 49 dBA, minimizing noise in work environments.
An important aspect of the chassis’s utility is its diagnostic capabilities, with a front-panel LED that indicates power supply failure, ensuring quick identification and resolution of issues. The chassis can be configured via Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), adding to its user-friendly nature.
Physically, the PXI-1044 is compact, with dimensions of 6.97 x 17.54 x 17.12 inches and a weight of 27.8 lbs., making it manageable and space-efficient. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –20 to 70 °C, ensuring reliability under various conditions.
