The PXIe-1078 Chassis provides users with the flexibility to combine the operations of both PXI and PXI Express modules. This model features three PXI Express slots and five PXI hybrid slots. The PXI hybrid-compatible slots can work with PXI Express modules or standard PXI modules.

The National Instruments PXIe-1078 has a backplane which routes 3 PCI Express links of the system slot to peripheral slots at 250 MB/s single direction per link. The backplane also features one x1 PCIe link to a PCIe to PCI translation bridge. The PXI Express hybrid slots deliver connectivity to a x1 PCI Express link, and to the 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus for PXI Express modules and PXI hybrid compatible modules, respectively. Also, the device accepts a 4-slot wide PXI Express embedded controller. The PXI Express system configuration is carried out through the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. The device requires a software media with PXI Platform Services 2.0 or higher to operate, which is contained in the chassis kit.
