  • Page 13: Interoperability With Compactpci

    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.
  • Page 14: Local Bus

    Slot 4 of the PXI backplane has connections for a PXI peripheral module such as an NI PXI DAQ module, an NI PXI DMM module, or an NI-Switch controller module to control the SCXI subsystem. These connections use the available local bus right pins (PXI_LBR0:12). The SCXI connection passes communication, timing, and low-voltage analog bus signals between the SCXI subsystem and the PXI module in Slot 4.
  • Page 15: System Reference Clock

    SCXI Subsystem Overview To use the SCXI subsystem of the PXI-1052, you must have a DAQ/DMM/Switch controller module in Slot 4 of the PXI subsystem to control and/or acquire data from the SCXI modules. The chassis address of the SCXI subsystem is hard-wired as 0.
