The NI PXI-1002 is a 4-slot 3U PXI chassis engineered for test and measurement applications requiring compact, modular instrumentation. It accepts both 3U PXI and 3U CompactPCI modules across one controller slot and three peripheral slots, with three additional controller expansion slots. The chassis delivers 170 W maximum usable output power via 3.3 VDC, 5 VDC, and 12 VDC supplies, powered by universal AC input (90–135 VAC or 180–265 VAC auto-selectable, 47–63 Hz). Forced-air cooling with two 60 cfm fans provides 300 W total cooling capacity and maintains operation across 0 to 50 °C. An internal 10 MHz reference clock and full PXI specification compliance enable precise triggering, star trigger bus support, and module-to-module local bus connectivity. The chassis measures 8.4 × 10.1 × 7.5 inches, weighs 9.5 lb, and ships with optional 19-inch rack-mount capability. Mean time between failures reaches 115,000 hours in AC mode and 79,000 hours in AC/DC mode.
