PXIe-1062Q: Product OverviewThe National Instruments PXIe-1062Q is a 6-slot PXI Express chassis that serves as the foundational hardware platform for building modular test, measurement, and control systems. This unit provides the physical infrastructure, power distribution, and high-speed communication backplane required to integrate and operate a combination of PXI Express controller modules and peripheral I/O modules. The chassis supports a hybrid bus architecture, accommodating both PXI Express and legacy PXI modules for system design flexibility.Installed in a rack or used as a benchtop unit, its primary role is to house a system controller (occupying slot 1) and up to five additional peripheral modules, such as data acquisition cards, digital I/O modules, or instrument interfaces. The chassis incorporates a high-performance PXI Express backplane that provides the necessary timing, triggering, and data transfer pathways between modules, ensuring synchronized operation in multi-card applications. The integrated power supply and active cooling system maintain stable operating conditions for the installed hardware, which is critical for measurement accuracy and system reliability in continuous operation environments. The design includes robust EMI shielding and meets industrial safety standards for laboratory and production environments.

Core Features & Customer ValueHybrid Bus Compatibility: The chassis supports both PXI Express and legacy PXI modules, providing significant flexibility for system integration and upgrades. Engineers can incorporate newer high-speed PXIe modules while maintaining compatibility with existing PXI investments. This hybrid approach reduces system cost by allowing gradual migration to PXI Express technology and protects existing software investments that use PXI hardware.Robust Power Delivery: The 500W power supply is sized to support the maximum power draw of multiple high-performance modules, including those with significant processing requirements or those driving external loads. This ensures stable operation even under full system load, preventing voltage sags or resets that can occur with undersized power supplies. The power distribution system includes overcurrent and overvoltage protection to safeguard installed modules.Advanced Cooling System: The temperature-controlled cooling system adjusts fan speed based on system thermal load, providing adequate airflow for cooling while minimizing acoustic noise during lower-power operation. This balance between cooling performance and noise makes the chassis suitable for both laboratory environments where quiet operation is preferred and production environments where thermal loads can be significant. The cooling design ensures components operate within specified temperature ranges for long-term reliability.Typical ApplicationsIn automated test equipment (ATE) systems, the chassis houses a PXI Express controller and a combination of instrument modules (such as digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators, and digital I/O) to form a complete test station for electronic component validation.In data acquisition systems, it serves as the platform for a real-time controller and high-speed analog input modules, acquiring sensor data from structural tests or monitoring applications with precise synchronization across all channels.For communication system prototyping, the chassis contains software-defined radio modules and signal processing hardware, with the high-speed PXI Express backplane enabling rapid data transfer between processing elements.
