PXIe-1073

The National Instruments PXIe-1073 is an AC PXI Chassis with five peripheral slots, including two PXIe slots and three hybrid slots, an x1 MXI-Express interface, and up to 208 MB/s sustained throughput

Product Description

The National Instruments PXIe-1073 PXI Chassis is a robust AC PXI Chassis designed for various applications, with part numbers 781161-01, 781163-01, and 196695B-01. It features five peripheral slots, including two dedicated PXIe slots and three hybrid slots, catering to a range of I/O modules and providing flexibility in system configuration.

This chassis is equipped with an x1 MXI-Express interface for high-speed connectivity, ensuring a sustained throughput of up to 208 MB/s, making it ideal for demanding applications that require reliable data transfer rates. The chassis also includes a convenient On/Standby momentary power switch for easy operation.

The precision of the reference clock is admirable, with an accuracy of ±25 parts per million (ppm), and it boasts impressively low jitter (less than 5 ps) and a maximum slot-to-slot skew of only 250 ps, ensuring synchronized operation of modules within the system. However, it should be noted that this model does not offer a system timing slot for importing or exporting clocks and triggers.

With its AUTO/HIGH fan-speed selector, the PXIe-1073 can optimize cooling or reduce acoustic emissions according to user preference. The chassis supports up to 250 MB/s per-slot dedicated bandwidth (x1 PCI Express), a total system bandwidth of 250 MB/s, and maintains a low acoustic noise level, with levels as quiet as 43.3 dBA.
