PXIe-1095 User Manual System Timing Slot The system timing slot is slot 10. The system timing slot accepts the following peripheral modules: A PXI Express System Timing Module with x8, x4, or x1 PCI Express link to the ■ system slot through a PCI Express switch. Each PXI Express peripheral or hybrid peripheral slot can link up to a Gen-3 x8 PCI Express, providing a maximum nominal single-direction bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
I/O ports on the rear of the chassis. This allows you to send trigger signals to, and receive trigger signals from, devices in other chassis. NI drivers such as NI-DAQmx must be used to route triggers between chassis dynamically; routing triggers between chassis using static routes defined in MAX is not supported.
Dotted line connections are available only with the Timing and Synchronization upgrade. System Reference Clock The PXIe-1095 chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 to every peripheral slot with an independent driver for each signal. The following figure shows the chassis reference clock architecture.
Page 27
PXIe-1095 User Manual An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 250 ps between slots) drives PXI_CLK10 to each slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system.
For this reason, to achieve the most stable operation of the OCXO, avoid powering off the OCXO. The OCXO that the PXIe-1095 uses features electronic frequency control. This allows the OCXO to be fine-tuned by varying the control voltage to the OCXO. The chassis uses a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to give precise control of the tuning voltage.
