The System Controller slot is located in Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by
the PXI specification. It has three controller expansion slots, which are
used for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. As defined
in the PXI specification, these slots allow the controller to expand to the left
to prevent the controller from using up peripheral slots.
The Star Trigger (ST) slot is located at Slot 2. This slot has a dedicated
trigger line between each peripheral slot (see Figure 1-3). This slot is
intended for modules with ST functionality that can provide individual
triggers to all other peripherals. However, if you do not require advanced
trigger functionality, you can install any standard peripheral module into
this slot.
There are seven peripheral slots including the Star Trigger controller slot.
