  • Page 16: Hybrid Peripheral Slots

    Chapter 1 Getting Started Hybrid Peripheral Slots The chassis provides three (3) hybrid peripheral slots (slot numbers 4–6) as defined in the PXI-5 PXI Express Hardware Specification. These hybrid peripheral slots can accept the following peripheral modules: • A PXI Express Peripheral with a x1 PCI Express link through the PCI Express switch to the upstream PC.

  • Page 17: Pxi Trigger Bus

    Static trigger routing (user-specified line 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. System Reference Clock The NI PXIe-1073 provides a 10 MHz clock (PXI_CLK10) and 100 MHz clock (PXIe_CLK100) to each peripheral slot.
  • Page 18 Chapter 1 Getting Started An independent buffer drives PXIe_CLK100 to each peripheral slot. These clocks are matched in skew to less than 100 ps. The differential pair must be terminated on the peripheral with LVPECL termination for the buffer to drive PXIe_CLK100 so that when there is no peripheral or a peripheral that does not connect to PXIe_CLK100, there is no clock being driven on the pair to that slot.

Typical PCI-PCI bridges are used to add PCI devices to a PCI hierarchy in which all the bridges and devices are contained within a single chassis. Because of this, BIOSes and operating systems make the assumption that all PCI devices in the entire hierarchy will be available as soon as code execution begins at power-up time.
