Chapter 1 Getting Started Interoperability with CompactPCI The PXI-1052 backplane is interoperable with 5 V and universal PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature because some PXI user systems can require components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis. The signals on the backplane P1 connectors meet the requirements of the CompactPCI specifica

Chapter 1 Getting Started Local Bus The PXI backplane local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right as shown in Figure 1-3. For example, the Slot 2 right local bus connects to the Slot 3 left local bus, and so on. The left local bus signal lines on Slot 2 are used for the star trigger and do not connect to Slot 1. The right local bus signal lines on Slot 4 are used for SCXI communication. Each local bus is 13 lines w

Chapter 1 Getting Started System Reference Clock The PXI-1052 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 500 ps between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system. You can drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source throu

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Modification—Do not modify any part of the chassis from its original condition. Unsuitable modifications may result in safety hazards. Chassis Cooling Considerations The PXI-1052 is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. Determine how you want to use the PXI-1052 and follow the appropriate installation instructions. Providing Adequate Clearance Openings in the top and along both sides of the chassis facilitate power supply and modu

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Tip Install the chassis so that you can access the rear panel easily. This simplifies cleaning or replacing the air filters. Setting Fan Speed The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the PXI-1052. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PXI-1052 Chassis, to locate the fan-speed selector switch. Select HIGH for maximum cooling performance (recommended) or AUTO for quieter operation. The fan speed is determined by chassis intake air tempera

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Connecting Safety Ground Caution The PXI-1052 chassis is designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 style plug for the United States that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground. If the power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis grounding sc

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Power Switch LED Indicators The chassis has two LEDs next to the power switch. The system power LED indicates the power status for the chassis. The SCXI power LED, when lit, indicates that power is available to the SCXI subsystem. The system power LED indicates one of three different conditions. 1. If the system power LED is steady green (not flashing), the chassis is powered on and operating normally. Caution Operating the PXI system outside of the s
