Description
NI PXIE-1078 9-Slot PXIe Chassis
The NI PXIe-1078 is a versatile, 9-slot PXI Express chassis designed for a wide range of test and measurement applications. It is particularly known for balancing high-bandwidth capabilities with a compact, value-oriented design.
## Product Overview
The NI PXIe-1078 incorporates a high-bandwidth backplane to meet the needs of high-channel-count automated test systems. It features five PXI Express slots, three PXI Express hybrid slots (which support both PXI Express and standard PXI modules), and one PXI Express system timing slot.
## Key Specifications (Parameters)
| Feature | Specification |
| Total Slots | 9 slots (1 system, 8 peripheral) |
| Slot Types | 5 PXIe slots, 3 PXIe Hybrid slots, 1 PXIe System Timing slot |
| Bandwidth | Up to 1 GB/s total system bandwidth |
| Per-slot Bandwidth | Up to 250 MB/s |
| Cooling | Forced-air cooling via bottom fans (intake at bottom, exhaust at rear) |
| Power Supply | Integrated AC power supply (approx. 300W total power) |
| Dimensions | 4U rack height, compact depth (ideal for benchtop or rackmount) |
## Product Advantages
-
Hybrid Slot Flexibility: The inclusion of hybrid slots allows you to preserve your investment in legacy PXI modules while upgrading to higher-speed PXI Express technology.
-
High Slot Density: Offers 9 slots in a form factor that is significantly shallower than many other 18-slot chassis, saving valuable desk or rack space.
-
System Timing Slot: Supports high-accuracy system synchronization by allowing the use of a timing and synchronization module to distribute clocks and triggers.
-
Cost-Effective: Positioned as a “value” chassis, providing PXI Express performance at a lower price point compared to high-power, high-bandwidth chassis like the PXIe-1082.
## Important Considerations (Usage Notes)
-
Cooling Clearance: Because this chassis pulls air from the bottom, you must provide at least 44.5 mm (1.75 in.) of clearance beneath the unit if it is not used with the provided feet on a benchtop.
-
Power Budget: While robust, the 300W power supply is smaller than those in “high-performance” chassis. Ensure the total power draw of your integrated modules does not exceed the chassis’s capacity.
-
Controller Compatibility: Requires a PXI Express embedded controller or a remote controller (MXI-Express) in the dedicated system slot.
## Common Applications
-
Automated Test Equipment (ATE): General-purpose functional testing for electronics and consumer devices.
-
Data Acquisition: High-channel-count sensor measurements where moderate data throughput is required.
-
Academic Research: A flexible platform for labs that need to mix older PXI hardware with modern PXIe modules.
-
Portable Test Systems: Due to its compact depth, it is often used in transit cases for field testing.
