National Instruments PXI-1042Q Chassis
The PXI-1042Q (Part Number: 778636-02, 191043F-01L) The chassis incorporates two framework fans and a power supply fan to give filtered, forced-air cooling that surpasses the cooling requests of PXI and CompactPCI modules. The PXI-1042Q offers a HIGH fan setting to expand cooling and an AUTO fan setting to limit acoustic discharges. The chassis screen air intake temperature and modifies fan speed accordingly. With this innovation, the PXI-1042Q accomplishes acoustic noise levels as low as 43 dBA (sound weight level estimated at operator position according to ISO 7779). The lower acoustic discharges make the PXI-1042Q a perfect instrument for office, research, or benchtop applications. The 8-slot device has a maximum system bandwidth of 132 MB per second, with a slot cooling capacity of 25 W. The 8 slots of the chassis share 8 PXI trigger lines.
The PXI-1042Q can work with 3U PXI and CompactPCI modules. This model additionally includes a broadened temperature range and a detachable, high-performance AC power supply. This chassis utilized the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. With this product arrangement apparatus, clients can undoubtedly design PXI-1042 Series frameworks without the tedious manual establishment of introduction records. MAX makes the pxisys.ini record that characterizes the format and parameters of the user’s PXI framework including suspension, controller, and plug in modules.
The PXI-1042Q chassis offers a removable high-performance general AC control supply with built-in current insurance. A 12 VDC line gives energy to the cooling fans, fundamentally decreasing electrical noise on the chassis backplane. The PXI-1042Q chassis consolidates the power supply and fans into a solitary secluded unit that the user can evacuate rapidly for the benefit of bringing about a mean time to repair (MTTR) of under five minutes. The NI instrument has an AC input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, an AC operating voltage range of 90 to 264 VAC, and an AC input frequency of 50/60 Hz. The device is equipped with a male 9-pin D-SUB (DB-9) connector found on the rear panel and two BNC connectors.
The PXI-1042Q chassis is no longer available from National Instruments, but it will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves in perpetuity!
