DescriptionThe GX70xxA Series are high-performance 20-slot PXI chassis that can accommodate up to 19 instruments as well as a PXI controller (an embedded CPU or a PXI bus expander interface such as the GX7990 or MXI-4). The 6U form-factor provides the necessary real estate to accommodate high performance and high-density test instrumentation, while offering the flexibility of being able to use 3U PXI and cPCI instruments as well.
FeaturesThe GX70xxA Series offers a full range of features and options including 800W or 1100W system power supply configurations, as well as configurations that support embedded or external system controllers.
The GX70xxA provides forced-air cooling which is generated by four (4) 52 CFM fans mounted under the card cage—providing positive airflow per the PXI specifications. This configuration provides the optimum cooling for the chassis regardless of the type or number of instruments used. Additional cooling is provided for the power supplies.
A high power configuation, the GX70x5A is also available which supports high performance digital subsystems, such as the GX5055 or GX5960 cards. This configuraton includes high capacity cooling and a 4 KW Smart system power supply for powering the digital pin electronics.
The GX7000A Smart Chassis supports the monitoring of slot temperatures and system power supply voltages as well providing the ability to program or map each PXI trigger line from one PCI segment to another. In addition, the user can program the temperature monitoring function for specific warning and shutdown limits. All user specific setups can be stored in non-volatile memory as a user configuration and can be used as the default setup for normal chassis operation.
The GX70xxA supports mass interconnect interfaces from several manufacturers including Virginia Panel, MacPanel, ITT Cannon, and others via the GX7500 Universal Receiver Interface. For applications requiring mass interconnect and cable routing to/from the rear of the chassis, the GX7002A and GX7012A offer the ideal system solution. These chassis include an integrated 2U cable tray, a hinged front-panel that accommodates all popular mass interconnect devices, optional openings at the top & bottom of chassis for cable routing, and recessed PXI instruments (recessed by 2.5” or 5”). In combination, the front panel and recessed instruments provide up to 8” of space for interface wiring.
ConfigurationSlot 1 is dedicated to the system controller (embedded or remote, using a PXI bus expander). A PXI Star Trigger Controller or any PXI or cPCI instrument can be used in slot 2. Slots 3-15 support the PXI Star Trigger and any PXI or cPCI instrument. Slots 16-20 accommodate PXI or cPCI instruments without the Star Trigger.
Programming and SoftwareThe chassis is supplied with the GxChassis software. The GxChassis driver provides a way to control, configure and display the Smart chassis' features, including temperature monitoring, trigger line mapping, power supply monitoring and the setting of temperature alarm limits. The 32 and bit Windows DLLs are provided with various interface files for accessing the DLL functions and supports programming tools and languages such as ATEasy, LabVIEW, Microsoft® and Borland® C/C++, Microsoft Visual Basic®, Borland Delphi, and more.
The available virtual panel can be used to interactively adjust and monitor the chassis' Smart features from a window that displays current settings and status. An on-line User's Guide provides documentation that includes instructions for installing, using and programming the chassis Smart features.
