Other Equipment

Your application may require additional items not included in your kit to interact with your
device. The following accessories can connect to the PXIe-5172.

PXI Chassis Slot Blocker kit (NI part number 199198-01)

SMB (m)-to-SMB (m) cables

AUX 0 cable (SHH19-MH19-AUX, NI part number 784091-01)

AUX 0 accessory terminal block for connecting to external signals, including clocks or
digital resources (SCB-19, NI part number 783959-01)

To use probes with the PXIe-5172, NI recommends using a cable adaptor (SMB (f)-to-
BNC (f), NI part number 781449-01 for one adaptor, or NI part number 781449-10 for ten
adaptors). With an adaptor, you can use the following probes:

CP500X—500 MHz, 1.2 m, 10X Cable Divider Probe

CP400X—400 MHz, 2 m, 10X Cable Divider Probe

SP500X—500 MHz, 10x Passive Probe

SP500C—500 MHz, 100x Passive Probe

NI-5191—800 MHz, Differential Active Probe

SA1000X—1 GHz Single-Ended Active Probe

SA1500X—1.5 GHz Single-Ended Active Probe

SA2500X—2.5 GHz Single-Ended Active Probe

Preparing the Environment

Ensure the environment in which you are using the PXIe-5172 meets the following
specifications.

Operating environment

Ambient temperature range

0 °C to 45 °C (Tested in accordance with
IEC-60068-2-1 and IEC-60068-2-2. Meets
MIL-PRF-28800F Class 3 low temperature
limit and MIL-PRF-28800F Class 4 high
temperature limit.)

Relative humidity range

10% to 90%, noncondensing (Tested in
accordance with IEC 60068-2-56.)

Maximum altitude

2,000 m (800 mbar) (at 25 °C ambient
temperature)

Pollution Degree
