(pin 5) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 1 or 9). As long as this connection exists,
the chassis will remain off (standby); when you remove this connection, the
chassis turns on.
Note For the Remote Inhibit signal to control the On/Off (standby) state of the chassis, the
Inhibit Mode switch must be in the Manual position.
PXI_CLK10 Rear Connectors
There are two BNC connectors on the rear of the NI PXIe-1075 chassis for
PXI_CLK10, as shown in Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1075
Chassis. The connectors are labeled IN and OUT. You can use them for
supplying the backplane with PXI_CLK10 or routing the backplane’s
PXI_CLK10 to another chassis. Refer to the System Reference Clock
section of Chapter 1, Getting Started, for details about these signals.
PXI Express System Configuration with MAX
The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis
automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate
a pxiesys.ini file. You can configure your entire PXI system and
identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), included with your system controller. MAX creates the
pxiesys.ini and pxisys.ini files, which define your PXI system
parameters. MAX also provides an interface to route and reserve triggers
so dynamic routing, through drivers such as DAQmx, avoids
double-driving and potentially damaging trigger lines. For more
information about routing and reserving PXI triggers, refer to
KnowledgeBase 3TJDOND8 at ni.com/support.
The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
