The NI PXIe-1073 is a 5-slot PXI Express chassis engineered for modular instrumentation and data acquisition systems. It combines a high-performance backplane with one PXIe system timing slot and four PXIe peripheral slots, delivering up to 24 GB/s per slot for Gen 2 capable modules. The integrated PCIe-8361 remote control module enables host PC operation via dual Infiniband-style PCIe connectors, making it suitable for distributed test architectures and space-constrained laboratory environments.
