The module is compliant with the PXI Specification 2.2. Local Bus, 

Trigger Bus and Star Trigger are not implemented. 

Uses a 33MHz 32-bit backplane interface.

Safety & CE Compliance

All modules are fully CE compliant and meet applicable EU 

directives:  Low-voltage safety EN61010-1:2010, EMC Immunity 

EN61326-1:2013, Emissions EN55011:2009+A1:2010.

Mechanical Characteristics

Eight slot 3U PXI (CompactPCI card). 3D models for all versions in 

a variety of popular file formats are available on request.

Connectors

PXI bus via 32-bit P1/J1 backplane connector. 

Signals via multiple front panel 50-pin male D-type connectors (Up 

to 8 per module), for pin outs please refer to the operating manual.
