The National Instruments PXI-1006 Chassis (Part Number: 778303-01) is a robust 3U chassis designed to accommodate up to 18 PXI modules, offering a maximum usable power of 600 W. This chassis features rack mount compatibility and includes a removable modular power supply equipped with over-current protection via a 10 A circuit breaker, ensuring reliability during operation. The PXI-1006 supports remote power monitoring and control through a dedicated 9-pin D-sub connector on the rear panel, allowing for convenient power inhibition and monitoring. Each peripheral slot receives an independent system clock signal for synchronized operations, with an option to derive this clock from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin.

The chassis incorporates three distinct PXI segments and trigger buses, enhancing flexibility for synchronized operations among multiple PXI peripheral modules. While slots 1 and 2 lack local bus connectivity as per PXI specifications, slot 1 serves as the system controller slot. The PXI-1006 maintains optimal performance across a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C for operation and -20 to 70 °C for storage, ensuring versatility in various environments. Constructed with portability in mind, the chassis includes a carrying handle and weighs 29.2 lbs. It operates within an AC input voltage range of 90 to 264 VAC and frequency of 47 to 63 Hz. Although designated as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXI-1006 chassis remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves, ensuring ongoing support for legacy systems.
