The National Instruments PXIe-1073 is a high-performance 5-slot PXI Express chassis designed for a wide range of test and measurement applications. It is specifically engineered to provide a compact and cost-effective solution for engineers who need the high bandwidth of PXI Express but require a smaller footprint than traditional 18-slot chassis. A unique feature of this model is its integrated MXI-Express controller, which allows for direct control of the chassis from a desktop or laptop computer via a cable, eliminating the need for a separate controller module in Slot 1.

Technical Specifications

Slots: Total of 5 slots. This includes 5 PXI Express peripheral slots.
Integrated Controller: Includes a built-in cabled PCI Express x1 controller, allowing for remote control without occupying a peripheral slot.
System Bandwidth: Supports up to $250 \text{ MB/s}$ of total system bandwidth.
Slot Bandwidth: Each peripheral slot is capable of up to $250 \text{ MB/s}$ dedicated bandwidth.
PXI Star Trigger: Supports PXI star trigger for high-accuracy synchronization between modules.
Cooling: Integrated forced-air cooling with a high-performance fan located at the rear of the chassis to maintain optimal operating temperatures for all installed modules.
Power Supply: Built-in universal AC power supply that provides reliable power to the backplane and all five slots.
Acoustics: Designed with an acoustic emissions level of approximately $43.5 \text{ dBA}$ in normal operating conditions, making it suitable for benchtop laboratory environments.
Weight: Approximately $5.6 \text{ kg}$ ( $12.3 \text{ lb}$ ), making it relatively portable for field or laboratory use.

Product Advantages

Integrated Remote Control: The built-in MXI-Express interface significantly reduces system costs and saves space, as you do not need to purchase or install a separate remote control module.
Compact Footprint: With only 5 slots, it is ideal for portable applications, benchtop testing, or any environment where space is at a premium but high-speed data acquisition is required.
Hybrid Compatibility: While focused on PXI Express, the backplane design in PXIe chassis often allows for a mix of high-performance Express modules and specialized PXI modules, providing flexibility in system configuration.
Quiet Operation: The cooling system is optimized to provide sufficient airflow while maintaining low noise levels, which is beneficial for engineers working in quiet lab settings.
Rugged Design: Like most NI PXI hardware, the PXIe-1073 is built to industrial standards, ensuring long-term reliability and stability in various operating conditions.

Important Considerations and Precautions

Slot Limitations: Since the chassis only has 5 slots, it is not suitable for massive, high-channel-count systems. Users must carefully plan their module requirements to ensure they do not exceed the available slot count.
Bandwidth Sharing: While $250 \text{ MB/s}$ is sufficient for many applications, users working with extremely high-speed streaming (like multi-channel RF or high-resolution video) should verify that the total system bandwidth meets their throughput needs.
Cooling Clearance: It is vital to maintain at least $76.2 \text{ mm}$ ( $3 \text{ inches}$ ) of clearance at the rear and sides of the chassis to ensure proper airflow. Blocking the intake or exhaust can lead to module overheating and hardware damage.
Power Limits: Ensure that the total power consumption of the installed modules does not exceed the power supply capacity of the chassis.
Proper Shutdown: Always power down the chassis before inserting or removing modules to prevent electrical transients that could damage the backplane or the instrumentation modules.

Product Applications

The PXIe-1073 is a versatile chassis used across various industries where precision and speed are required in a small form factor.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE): Serving as the core of small-scale automated test systems for consumer electronics, automotive components, and medical devices.
Data Acquisition and Logging: High-speed logging of structural data, environmental sensors, or electrical signals in R&D laboratories.
Education and Research: Its lower price point and compact size make it a favorite for university labs and research facilities focusing on signal processing or control systems.
Field Testing and Diagnostics: Due to its portability, it is often used for on-site troubleshooting and maintenance of complex machinery or telecommunications infrastructure.
Validation and Verification: Used in the validation stages of product development to run repetitive tests on prototypes to ensure they meet design specifications.
