National Instruments 779218-01 Legacy PXI Chassis

National Instruments' 779218-01 14-Slot PXI Chassis is a part number describing the PXI-1044. For a wide range of test and measurement applications, this chassis provides a flexible platform. It offers compatibility with multiple instruments and systems and interacts easily with both CompactPCI and PXI modules. It can handle demanding applications in a variety of industries because to its 500W power capacity.

The high-performance backplane of the 779218-01 chassis enables automatic trigger routing between two bridge modules, improving synchronization capabilities that are necessary for automated testing scenarios and multi-instrument setups. Because of its wider temperature range, which guarantees dependability under various environmental circumstances, it can be used in a variety of operating contexts.

The chassis incorporates a removable, high-performance power supply with universal AC input, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance. Over-current protection is ensured through a push-reset circuit breaker, eliminating the need for AC-input fuses replacement. Remote voltage monitoring and inhibit functionalities enhance operational control and safety.

The chassis has a structural design that is optimized for optimal convenience and is designed with utility in mind. It has a modular architecture that makes maintenance simple and cuts down on downtime. A front-panel LED indicator indicating power supply failure is included into the chassis, allowing for quick troubleshooting.

In terms of connectivity, the chassis offers 10 MHz REF IN and OUT BNC connectors for synchronizing multiple chassis, along with programmable PXI trigger routing between bus segments. Rack-mount compatibility increases the variety of installation possibilities, while a carrying handle and tilt feet enable portability and bench-top applications.

The 779218-01 chassis's cooling system is reliable and strong, guaranteeing top performance. The 25W per-slot cooling capacity and three 140 cfm fans for forced air circulation ensure thermal stability even in high-demand operating scenarios. Airflow and cooling efficiency are maximized through the strategic design of the intake and exhaust designs.
