Description
The National Instruments PXIe-1078 is a high-performance AC Chassis designed for versatility and robustness in automated test systems. This model includes a comprehensive set of specifications that ensure compatibility and efficiency for a wide range of applications.
It features 9 slots for module insertion, with a special consideration for a 4-slot wide system controller slot, providing ample space for both PXI and PXI Express modules. This chassis is equipped with 3 PXI Express slots and 5 PXI Hybrid slots, offering flexibility in module configuration and ensuring compatibility with a wide array of existing and future module types.
The PXIe-1078 is designed to handle high data throughput, featuring 3 PCI Express links capable of 250 MB/s in a single direction per link, and a PCI to PCIe Translation Bridge that includes a 1 x1 PCIe link. This ensures that data can be moved efficiently, making it ideal for applications requiring high-speed data acquisition and processing.
For software compatibility, it requires PXI Platform Services 2.0 or higher, ensuring seamless integration and operation within the PXI ecosystem. The chassis also supports a variety of part numbers including 763068-01, 781622-01, 781482-01, 781634-01, and 763000-01 for accessories, making it easy to find and integrate compatible components.
The timing and synchronization capabilities of the PXIe-1078 are precise, featuring a 10 MHz reference clock with +/-25 ppm accuracy and <3 ps jitter. This high level of precision, along with a maximum slot to slot skew of 100 ps, is crucial for synchronized measurement and automation tasks, ensuring that data integrity is maintained across all modules.
In addition to its technical capabilities, the PXIe-1078 also includes a Fan Speed Selector, allowing users to optimize cooling based on the specific needs of their application, further highlighting National Instruments’ commitment to creating versatile and user-friendly solutions for the automated test industry.
