- Variable-speed fan control
- Power, temperature, and fan monitoring
Working Principle
The backplane distributes PCI Express data, PXI 10 MHz reference clock, PXIe 100 MHz reference clock, and trigger lines across modules. The controller coordinates data movement while timing slots provide synchronized clocks for the whole system.
Application Scenarios
- Automated test systems
- RF and wireless test
- Data acquisition systems
- Military and aerospace test
- Semiconductor test
- Mixed PXI and PXI Express instrumentation
Installation Requirements
- Mount in rack or bench with adequate ventilation
- Use supplied AC power cable for region
- Install controller in system controller slot
- Place timing-critical modules according to NI slot guidance
- Keep filler panels in unused slots
Usage Notes
- Do not block front or rear airflow
- Total slot power must remain within chassis limits
- Use hybrid slots for modules requiring PXI hybrid connection
- Monitor fan and temperature indicators
- Replace power supply shuttle only with compatible NI part
