Overview
Lightweight, Portable System
The National Instruments PXI-1033 Series chassis kits consist of a low-
cost chassis designed with an integrated controller for remote control
applications, either a host PCI Express board for desktops or a host
ExpressCard for laptops, and a cable. The NI PXI-1033 Series reduces the
already low entry cost of a PXI system by 50 percent when compared to
a PXI-1031 4-slot chassis and MXI-Express controller. With an integrated
MXI-Express controller in the chassis, the PXI-1033 provides a transparent,
remote link with up to 110 MB/s sustained throughput. It offers five
peripheral slots for I/O modules and features compact, rugged packaging
as well as quiet operation, which makes it ideal for both portable and
desktop ATE systems. The low cost and high performance of the PXI-1033
Series meet application needs in a variety of industries including
automotive, ATE, and electronics.
Low-Cost PXI Remote Control System
A PXI-1033 chassis kit lowers the PXI setup cost by 50 percent when
compared to 4-slot PXI-1031 chassis with a MXI-4 Express kit. With this
low-cost PXI entry point, engineers can control up to five PXI/CompactPCI
modules across a remote link that offers 110 MB/s of sustained bandwidth –
more than a 40 percent increase compared to MXI-4 PCI remote control
of PXI.
The PXI-1033 chassis includes an integrated remote controller and five
peripheral slots. The compact, rugged, and portable chassis weighs less
than 12 lb and is small for portability. It features an operating
temperature range of 0 to 50 °C.
Quiet Acoustic Emissions for Improved
Development Environment
The PXI-1033 chassis offers an AUTO/HIGH fan-speed selector that
provides a HIGH fan setting to maximize cooling and AUTO fan setting to
minimize acoustic emissions. When set in AUTO, the PXI-1033 chassis
monitors air intake temperature and adjusts fan speed accordingly. Table 1
shows PXI-1033 acoustic emissions.
