•
External ambient—The maximum air temperature of the room or installation location that
surrounds the system.
•
Internal/enclosure ambient—The maximum air temperature inside the enclosure. This can
be measured at various locations within the enclosure and is highly influenced by the
proximity and dissipation of devices inside the enclosure.
•
Local ambient—The maximum air temperature as specified directly adjacent to the
sbRIO-96xx. This is measured on all sides of a device that has exposed circuitry.
Because the system integrator may use any number of enclosure sizes, materials, thermal
solutions, and room conditions when designing an enclosure for a specific application,
sbRIO-96xx are specified in a manner that removes most of these external variables.
Therefore, the sbRIO-96xx thermal performance is not determined by measuring the external
ambient or internal/enclosure ambient temperatures, but by measuring the local ambient and
specific component temperatures. NI provides digitally reported temperatures to help you
accurately measure these critical temperatures.
Shock and Vibration
The mounting method you use, components you select, and assembly techniques you use
influence the ability of the system to resist fretting corrosion and other damage caused by
exposure to shock and vibration. Consider the following factors when designing your
sbRIO-96xx system to account for shock and vibration:
