The high performance for the instrumentation requirements of the PXIe 1086 Chassis includes: 4 GB/s (single direction) per PXI Express slot dedicated bandwidth maximum, 38.25 W per slot cooling that meets increased PXI Express cooling requirements, a variable speed fan controller which optimizes cooling and acoustic emissions, a low-jitter internal 10 MHz reference clock for PXI slots with ± 25 ppm stability, a low-jitter internal 100 MHz reference clock for PXI Express slots with ± 25 ppm stability, and full compliance with PXI and CompactPCI Specifications.
The design of the NI PXIe 1086 facilitates interoperability with CompactPCI. The backplane also features system controller slots, hybrid peripheral slots, system timing slots, a PCI Local Bus, a PCI Trigger Bus, and a system reference clock. The NI PXIe-1086 has a reliable 0 to 50 °C operating temperature range.
