Introduction

This chapter describes the PXI-1011, lists what you need to get started,
describes the optional equipment, and explains how to unpack the
PXI-1011 chassis.

About the PXI-1011 Chassis

Thank you for purchasing the National Instruments PXI-1011 chassis. This
chassis integrates a high-performance 4-slot PXI subsystem with an 8-slot
SCXI subsystem to offer a complete solution for signal conditioning
applications. The PXI section of the chassis accepts an embedded
controller and a wide variety of peripheral modules (such as multifunction
I/O, digital I/O, and instrument modules). The eight SCXI slots integrate
signal conditioning modules into your PXI system. These modules provide
analog and digital input conditioning, isolation, and other functions. The
PXI-1011 is ideal for applications where rack-mount space is limited
because it combines the computer, plug-in devices, and signal conditioning
modules in a single chassis. You can daisy-chain additional SCXI chassis
to the PXI-1011 to build very high channel-count systems.

What You Need to Get Started

To set up and use your PXI-1011 chassis, you will need the following
items:

 PXI-1011 chassis

 Power cable (see Table 1-1)

 PXI-1011 Chassis User Manual
