How To Use the Manual Set The PXI-1010 Chassis User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your PXI system. You could have any of several types of documents, depending on the hardware and software in your system. Use the documents you have as follows: •...
NI-DAQ NI-DAQ is used throughout this manual to refer to the NI-DAQ software. PXI chassis PXI chassis or simply chassis refers to the PXI-1010. SCXIbus SCXIbus refers to the backplane in the chassis SCXI subsystem. A signal on the backplane is referred to as the SCXIbus <signal name> line (or signal).
The following document contains information that you might find helpful as you read this manual: • Your computer technical reference manual If you are designing your own module, the following National Instruments specification, available by request, describes the physical, electrical, and timing requirements for PXI: •...
You can daisy-chain additional SCXI chassis to the PXI-1010 to build very high channel-count systems. What You Need to Get Started To set up and use your PXI-1010 chassis, you will need the following items: ❑...
Introduction Software Programming Choices You have several options to choose from when programming your National Instruments DAQ and SCXI hardware. You can use National Instruments application software, NI-DAQ, or register-level programming. National Instruments Application Software ComponentWorks contains tools for data acquisition and instrument control built on NI-DAQ driver software.
NI-DAQ maintains a consistent software interface among its different versions so that you can change platforms with minimal modifications to your code. Whether you are using conventional programming languages or National Instruments application software, your application uses the NI-DAQ driver software, as illustrated in Figure 1-1. ComponentWorks,...
Key Features The PXI-1010 combines a high-performance 8-slot PXI subsystem with a 4-slot SCXI subsystem. The PXI-1010 has a structural design that is optimized for maximum use in a wide range of applications. The PXI-1010 fully complies with the PXI Specification, Revision 2.0, offering advanced timing and synchronization features.

PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis. The signals on the PXI-1010 backplane P1 connector meet the requirements of the CompactPCI specification for both the peripheral and system modules. The PXI-specific signals are located on the P2 connector and are found only on the signals that are reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit specification.
Peripheral Slots The PXI-1010 has seven peripheral slots located in Slots 2 through 8. You can use PXI modules in peripheral slots to add functionality to the PXI subsystem not already provided by the system controller. Examples of PXI peripheral modules are multifunction I/O, digital I/O, and instrument modules.
Chapter 1 Introduction System Reference Clock The PXI-1010 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot.
Place your PXI-1010 on a bench top or in an instrument rack so that the fans (air inlets) and the air outlet apertures along both sides of the chassis have adequate ventilation.
Check the voltage on the voltage selection wheel to ensure that you have the correct voltage setting and fuse. The PXI-1010 chassis can operate with line voltages of 100, 120, 220, and 240 VAC. The voltage selection wheel in the power entry module determines the voltage for which the chassis is configured.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Caution For continued protection against fire, replace fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating. Table 2-1. PXI-1010 Voltage Selection and Fuse Ratings by Region Region Line Voltage Fuse Rating North America 120 VAC...
Category II environment per IEC 644. This category requires local level supply mains-connected installation. Complete the following steps to install the PXI-1010 chassis: If you are not using multiple chassis, skip this step and leave the address at its factory-default setting of 0. If you are using multiple...
Complete the following steps to install a PXI module into a chassis slot: Place the module edges into the PXI module guides (top and bottom), as shown in Figure 1-2, Front View of the PXI-1010 Chassis. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-3.
SCXI Module Installation Complete the following steps to install SCXI modules: Power off the SCXI subsystem using the switch shown in Figure 1-2, Front View of the PXI-1010 Chassis. Remove the front filler panel of an empty SCXI slot. Insert the module into the module guide rails and slide the module to the back of the chassis.
Maintenance This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures for the PXI-1010 chassis. Maintenance Procedures Service Interval Clean the chassis fan filters at a maximum interval of six months. Depending upon the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the operating environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.
When removing the last screw, be careful to hold the fan to prevent breaking the fan wires. NI PXI-1010 Chassis User Manual ni.com Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Turn on the power switch and verify that the circuit breaker does not trip. Verify that your PXI-1010 can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or PXI modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for power requirements.
Power Entry Module Fuse Replacement Caution Disconnect all power before removing cover. Refer to Figure 1-3, Rear View of the PXI-1010 Chassis, as you complete the following steps to replace the power-entry module fuse: Power off the chassis. Remove the power cable from the power-entry module.
Reinstall the fan and filter. Troubleshooting the PXI-1010 Refer to Table 3-1 to troubleshoot the PXI-1010 chassis. The table lists possible causes for power failure and recommends ways to correct the problem. Table 3-1. Troubleshooting Power Failure...
