PXIe-1071

The PXIe-1071 is a PXI Express Chassis from National Instruments, designed for compact automated test, data acquisition, modular instrumentation, and laboratory measurement systems. As a 4-slot PXI Express chassis, the NI PXIe-1071 provides a high-bandwidth backplane for PXI and PXI Express modules while maintaining a compact and lightweight form factor. It includes 1 system slot and 3 hybrid peripheral slots, making it suitable for small PXI systems, desktop test stations, and portable measurement applications. NI lists the PXIe-1071 as a 4-slot chassis with up to 3 GB/s system bandwidth and part number 781368-01.

The NI PXIe-1071 is designed to help engineers build compact PXI Express test systems without using a large rackmount chassis. Its small form factor makes it suitable for benchtop testing, portable test systems, laboratory automation, and space-limited production environments. The chassis accepts PXI Express modules as well as standard PXI hybrid-compatible modules in its peripheral slots, giving users flexibility when combining different types of PXI instrumentation.

The PXIe-1071 PXI Express Chassis provides a high-bandwidth backplane for modular instrumentation. It supports up to 3 GB/s total system bandwidth, which helps improve data movement between the controller and installed PXI Express modules. This bandwidth is useful for applications involving digitizers, multifunction DAQ modules, signal generators, switch modules, RF instruments, and other PXI-based test hardware. For engineers building automated test systems, the PXIe-1071 provides a compact platform for synchronized measurement and control.

The National Instruments PXIe-1071 includes 3 hybrid slots for PXI and PXI Express peripheral modules. Hybrid slots are useful because they allow users to install compatible PXI, PXI Express, CompactPCI, or CompactPCI Express peripheral modules depending on the system configuration. This compatibility makes the PXIe-1071 a practical choice for users who need to combine older PXI modules with newer PXI Express hardware in one chassis. Third-party technical listings also describe the chassis as providing 1 GB/s dedicated bandwidth per slot and up to 3 GB/s total system bandwidth.

In system integration, the NI PXIe-1071 can be used with a compatible PXI embedded controller or remote controller. It provides the mechanical housing, power, cooling, and backplane communication needed for PXI and PXIe modules. Engineers can install modules such as oscilloscopes, DAQ cards, digital I/O modules, source measure units, switch modules, and waveform generators to build a customized automated test platform. Because of its compact design, the PXIe-1071 is especially useful for small-scale test systems where a full-size PXI chassis is not necessary.

The PXIe-1071 chassis is suitable for many applications, including electronic functional test, sensor measurement, production line validation, research experiments, automated data acquisition, and modular instrument control. It can also be used in education and laboratory environments where users need a flexible PXI Express platform with fewer slots. Its compact and lightweight design helps reduce installation footprint while still providing the synchronization, modularity, and scalability of the PXI platform.

Overall, the NI PXIe-1071 PXI Express Chassis is a compact and reliable chassis for users who need a small PXI Express system with hybrid slot compatibility. With 4 total slots, 3 hybrid peripheral slots, up to 3 GB/s system bandwidth, and support for PXI Express and hybrid-compatible PXI modules, the PXIe-1071 is well suited for desktop automated test, portable measurement systems, laboratory DAQ, and compact modular instrumentation platforms.
