Overview
National Instruments offers PXI chassis with integrated SCXI so you
can have the benefits of SCXI and the PXI platform integrated in a
single PXI chassis. The PXI platform offers a variety of modules such
as multifunction I/O, digital I/O, switching, and instrument modules.
With SCXI you can expand the functionality of your data acquisition
system with modules for multiplexing, linearization, filtering,
isolation, amplification, switching, and more. The NI PXI and
SCXI combination chassis offer a complete solution for a wide range
of test and measurement applications that require signal
conditioning, switching and multiplexing. Visit the PXI/SCXI
advisor at
ni.com/pxiadvisor
to view a complete list of SCXI modules
and configure a PXI and SCXI system.

SCXI Operating Modes
NI PXI chassis with integrated SCXI provide a built-in digital and
analog bus between the rightmost PXI slot and the SCXI subsystem
so that a DAQ or DMM module can control the SCXI subsystem in
multiplexed mode without external cabling. Using the PXI-1050, you
can also connect additional PXI DAQ modules to SCXI modules in
parallel mode (requires additional cabling). In multiplexed mode,
one DAQ module controls the entire SCXI subsystem; all
measurements are multiplexed back to this one device so users can
create a cost-effective high-channel-count system. SCXI handles
many types of sensor measurements, including voltages, resistances,
thermocouples, strain gages, accelerometers, RTDs, and LVDTs.
PXI-1050, PXI-1052
The PXI-1050 and PXI-1052 offer the latest chassis technology from
NI. The PXI-1050 is an upgrade to the PXI-1010, and works with all
NI PXI controllers. The PXI-1052 implements fan-speed control of
the power supply and module fans to reduce acoustic emissions, and
offers an AUTO/HIGH fan-speed selector switch. When set to AUTO,
the PXI-1052 optimizes cooling and acoustic emissions based on air
intake temperature.
Software for Configuring Your System
National Instruments is a leading supplier of integrated hardware
and software for test and measurement applications. With software
such as Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), you can easily
configure your PXI/SCXI system. Using LabVIEW and NI-DAQ, you
can quickly configure your measurement and begin acquiring
signals. MAX automatically detects which PXI and SCXI modules are
installed in your system so you can configure your measurements. In
Figure 1, MAX is used to configure measurements.
