NI PXIe-1075 Chassis Backplane Overview This section provides an overview of the backplane features for the NI PXIe-1075 chassis. Interoperability with CompactPCI The design of the NI PXIe-1075 provides you the flexibility to use the following devices in a single PXI Express chassis: •...
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual The backplane routes each of the system slots’ x4 PCI Express (PCIe) links to a PCIe switch. The four (4) PCIe switches have x4 PCIe links routed to each peripheral slot as well as x1 links to two (2) PCIe-to-PCI bridges providing 32-bit/33 MHz PCI busses to the hybrid slots.
Chapter 1 Getting Started System Timing Slot The System Timing Slot is slot 10. The system timing slot will accept the following peripheral modules: • A PXI Express System Timing Module with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system slot through a PCIe switch.
(user-specified line and directional assignments) can be configured through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Dynamic routing of triggers (automatic line assignments) is supported through certain National Instruments drivers like NI-DAQmx. Although any trigger line may be routed in either direction, it cannot be Note routed in more than one direction at a time.
Chapter 1 Getting Started System Reference Clock The PXIe-1075 chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 to every peripheral slot with an independent driver for each signal. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives PXI_CLK10 to each peripheral slot.
Page 18
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual To synchronize the system to an external clock, you can drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the System Timing Slot. Refer to Table B-5, Connector Pinout for the System Timing Slot, for the pinout. When a 10 MHz clock is detected on this pin, the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these signals to the slots.
Chapter 1 Getting Started PXIe_SYNC_CTRL PXIe_SYNC100 is by default a 10 ns pulse synchronous to PXI_CLK10. The frequency of PXIe_SYNC100 is 10/n MHz, where n is a positive integer. The default for n is 1, giving PXIe_SYNC100 a 100 ns period. However, the backplane allows n to be programmed to other integers.
Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to prepare and operate the NI PXIe-1075 chassis. Before connecting the chassis to a power source, read this chapter and the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included with your kit.
Providing Adequate Clearance The primary cooling exhaust vent for the NI PXIe-1075 is on the top of the chassis. The primary intake vent is on the rear of the chassis where the air is filtered as it enters the power supply shuttle.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in the NI PXIe-1075 chassis are within the allowable limits. Referring to Table 2-2, connect one lead of the voltmeter to a supply pin on the remote voltage monitoring connector (9-pin D-SUB) on the rear panel. Refer to Table 2-1 for a pinout diagram of the remote voltage monitoring connector.
NI PXIe-1075 User Manual PXI_CLK10 Rear Connectors There are two BNC connectors on the rear of the NI PXIe-1075 chassis for PXI_CLK10, as shown in Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1075 Chassis. The connectors are labeled IN and OUT.
