About This Manual The PXI-1011 Chassis User Manual describes the features of the PXI-101 1 chassis and contains information about configuring the chassis, installing the modules, and operating the chassis. Conventions The following conventions appear in this manual: This icon denotes a note, which alerts you to important information.
About This Manual National Instruments Documentation The PXI-1011 Chassis User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your PXI system. You could have any of several types of documents, depending on the hardware and software in your system. Use the documents you have as follows: •...
You can daisy-chain additional SCXI chassis to the PXI-1011 to build very high channel-count systems. What Y ou Need to Get Started To set up and use your PXI-1011 chassis, you will need the following items: ❑ PXI-1011 chassis ❑...
— VirtualBench ❑ N I - D A Q for PC compatibles ❑ P X I Chassis Initialization File for PXI-1011, version 1.0 (floppy disk) with chassis. i n i . See Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration, for detailed information on initializing your PXI-101 1 chassis.
SCXI modules. Use this general-purpose chassis with current and future SCXI modules. The PXI-1011 has a built-in interconnect ion between the PXI and SCXI subsystems that allows a DAQ device in the fourth PXI slot to control the SCXI subsystem without additional cables.

PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCl network interface card in a PXI chassis. The signals on the PXI-1011 backplane P1 connector meet the requirements of the CompactPCl specification for both the peripheral and system modules. The PXI-specific signals are located on the P2 connector and are found only on the signals that are reserved or not used in the CompactPCl 64-bit specification.
This software uses the configuration information specific to each peripheral module to evaluate compatibility. This method is a flexible way to define local bus functionality that is not limited by keying hardware. PXI-1011 Chassis User Manual...
System Reference Clock The PXI-1011 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. A n independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot.

400 Hz power applications—The PXI-1011 can operate on 400 Hz power systems but is not qualified for use in aircraft. A navigation hazard could exist if the PXI-1011 is operated in-flight with common avionics in use.
Place your PXI-1011 on a bench or in an instrument rack so that the fans (air inlets) and the air outlet apertures along both sides of the chassis have adequate ventilation.
Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PXI-1011 Chassis, for a diagram locating the chassis grounding screw. To connect the safety ground, complete the following steps: 1.
Follow these steps to install a PXI module into a chassis slot: 1. F i r s t place the module edges into the PXI chassis module guides (top and bottom), as shown in Figure 1-1, Front View of the PXI-1011 Chassis.
Follow these steps to install SCXI modules: 1. T u r n off the SCXI subsystem using the switch shown in Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PXI-1011 Chassis. 2. Remove the front filler panel of an empty SCXI slot, if any.
. i n i file. System controllers from National Instruments provide the pxisys . i n i file for the PXI-101 1 chassis so that the user should not need to use the chassis . i n i file. Refer to the documentation provided by the system controller for more information on pxisys .
Maintenance This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures for the PXI-1011 chassis. Maintenance Procedures Service Interval Clean the chassis fan filters at a maximum interval of six months. Depending upon the amount of chassis use and ambient dust levels in the operating environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.
Refer to Figure I - I , Front View of the PXI-1011 Chassis, and Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PX1-101 1 Chassis, as you use the following procedures: I.
4. T u r n on the system power switch and verify that the circuit breaker does not trip. 5. Ve r i f y that your PXI-1011 can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCl or PXI modules. Overloading the chassis can trip the breaker.
