    Unused slots in this chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

  • Page 15: Section 2 - Technical Description

    MBoS Frame The MBoS frame is a 19 inch full rack width mounting frame for a PXI, Hybrid or LXI chassis. Breakout modules mount on the front of the frame and mate with the front panels of the PXI modules installed in the chassis. The frame has sufficient clearance above and below the chassis to allow cabling to be routed in a way best suited to the application - this would usually be out of the rear of the frame.

    Programmable Resistor modules. A Breakout Module is designed to mate with the front panel connector(s) of a specific PXI module fitted into a PXI, Hybrid or LXI chassis which is in turn fitted into the MBoS frame. The user signals from the PXI module are routed to the front panel of the Breakout Module where they are accessible via individual terminals.
