National Instruments PXIe-1073 PXI Chassis

The PXIe-1073 (Part Numbers: 781161-01, 781163-01, and 196695B-01) is an AC PXI Chassis, featuring an integrated controller for remote control applications. This model has a compact and durable design and features five peripheral slots for I/O modules. There are two PXIe slots and three hybrid slots. The NI PXIe-1073 Chassis sustains quiet operation, making it suitable for portable, desktop, and industrial control applications.

This PXI Chassis comes with an x1 MXI-Express interface which can be accessed via the MXI-Express chassis controller connector on the rear of the chassis. The MXIe interface can be cabled to deliver control of the chassis. There is not a slot number 1 on the NI PXIe-1073. Instead, there is the MXIe interface back connector.

The PXIe-1073 NI can help users create the highest-value PXI Express systems on the market today. The NI PXIe-1073 features an integrated MXI-Express controller, providing a transparent, remote link with up to 208 MB/s sustained throughput to the host computer. The front panel has an On/Standby momentary power switch for convenience for the user.

The PXIe 1073 backplane is fully compliant with PCI timing and synchronization standards for PXI modules. The Chassis includes a 10 MHz reference clock with an accuracy of ±25 parts per million (ppm), less than 5 ps jitter, and a maximum slot-to-slot skew of 250 ps. This Chassis does not offer a system timing slot, which provides the ability to import/export the 10 MHz clock and PXI triggers.

The NI PXIe-1073 features an AUTO/HIGH fan-speed selector that provides a HIGH fan-speed setting to maximize cooling and an AUTO fan setting to minimize acoustic emissions. The PXIe-1073 NI has up to 250 MB/s per-slot dedicated bandwidth (x1 PCI Express), 250 MB/s total system bandwidth, and acoustic noise as low as 43.3 dBA.
