Key Features
The PXI-1042 Series combines a high-performance 8-slot PXI backplane
with a high-output power supply and a structural design that has been
optimized for maximum usability in a wide range of applications. The
chassis’ modular design ensures a high level of maintainability, resulting in
a very low mean time to repair (MTTR). The PXI-1042 Series fully comply
with the PXI Specification, Revision 2.0, offering advanced timing and
synchronization features.
The key features of the PXI-1042 Series include the following:
• PXI and CompactPCI (PICMG 2.0 R 3.0) module compatibility
• Compact 3U-sized, 8-slot chassis
• Universal AC input: automatic voltage and frequency ranging
• Over-current protection through push-reset circuit breaker
(no AC-input fuses to replace)
• Removable modular power-supply shuttle
• Remote voltage monitoring and inhibit through a rear-panel connector
• On/Off (Standby) power switch on the front panel for easy access
• Temperature-sensing module that can adjust fan speed based on
air-intake temperature to minimize audible noise
