The NI VXI-1200 FlexFrame Mainframe Power Supply is a 9-slot VXIbus mainframe for test and measurement applications requiring flexible module configuration and reliable power delivery. It complies with VXIbus Specification Revision 1.4 and is VXIplug&play compatible, accommodating up to 6 C-size VXI modules and 3 B-size VXI or VME modules. The configurable Slot 0 controller interface accepts either B-size or C-size controllers via plug-in Personality module, enabling system adaptation across laboratory and industrial environments. Auto-ranging AC input eliminates manual voltage selection, while 720 W of available DC power supports demanding instrument loads. The 5U portable form factor (14.02 in. × 8.62 in. × 28.29 in.) and fan-cooled architecture enable benchtop deployment or rackmount integration.
