Key Features
The PXI-1056 combines a high-performance 18 slot 3U-sized (or 4 3U and
7 6U slot) PXI backplane with a high-output power supply and a structural
design that has been optimized for maximum usability in a wide range of
applications. The modular design of the chassis ensures a high level of
maintainability, resulting in a very low mean time to repair (MTTR). The
PXI-1056 complies with the
PXI Hardware Specification
,
Revision 2.2
(32-bit), offering advanced timing and synchronization features.
Note
The PXI-1056 chassis only complies with the 32-bit/33 MHz operational specs of
the
PXI Hardware Specification
.
The key features of the PXI-1056 include the following:
•
PXI and CompactPCI (PICMG 2.0 R 3.0) module compatibility
•
4 3U-sized and 7 6U-sized dual-stack capable slots
•
Universal AC input: automatic voltage and frequency ranging
•
Over-current protection through push-reset circuit breaker (no
AC-input fuses to replace)
•
Removable modular power-supply shuttle
•
Remote voltage, temperature, and fan monitoring through a rear-panel
RS-232 connector
•
On/Off (Standby) power switch on the front panel for easy access
