Key Features
Figures 1-1 through 1-7 show the key features of the VXI-1200.
Ease of Use
The VXI-1200 is designed for easy and convenient use.
•
Plug-in Personality Module. The orientation of the plug-in
Personality module allows either the C0 slot or B0 slot to function
as the mainframe VXIbus Slot 0 location.
•
Fast Setup. The VXI-1200 backplane uses active-automatic VME
interrupt acknowledge and bus grant daisy chaining. Manual
configuration of backplane switch settings or jumpers has been
eliminated.
•
Universal AC Input. The VXI-1200 AC input is both auto-voltage
and auto-frequency ranging. The chassis does not require the
configuration of a voltage selection switch.
•
Plug-in Power Supply, Fans, and Monitor. The VXI-1200
modular system design results in a virtually wireless mainframe
with low MTTR and high MTBF. See Figure 1-3.
•
Variable Extension Rack-Mounting. The adjustable rack-mount
ear provides variable (0.500 in. increments) extension
rack-mounting capability.
•
Fan Speed Control. The VXI-1200 delivers the cooling air that
your application requires. Fan speed control reduces acoustic noise
levels of the VXI-1200 high-performance cooling system.
