PXI-1052 Backplane Overview  
This section gives a basic hardware overview of the PXI-1052 backplane,  
with interoperability information for the PXI-1052 with CompactPCI, and  
general information about the local bus, including system controller slot,  
the star trigger slot, and the peripheral slots.

NI PXI-1052 User Manual  
 
             
Chapter 1  
Getting Started  
Interoperability with CompactPCI  
The PXI-1052 backplane is interoperable with 5 V and universal  
PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an  
important feature because some PXI user systems can require components  
that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want  
to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.  
The signals on the backplane P1 connectors meet the requirements of the  
CompactPCI specification for both peripheral and system modules. Refer  
to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pinout information.  
The PXI-specific signals are on the backplane P2 connectors and are found  
only on those signal lines reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit  
specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the  
CompactPCI 64-bit specification function in the PXI-1052. Refer to  
Appendix B, Pinouts, for pinout information.  
The PXI-1052 backplane has +5 V V(I/O). Refer to the CompactPCI  
Specification PICMG 2.0 R3.0 for details regarding V(I/O).  
System Controller Slot  
The system controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI  
specification. There are three controller expansion slots to the left of Slot 1  
for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. This prevents  
the controller from using peripheral slots.  
Star Trigger Slot  
Slot 2 is the star trigger slot. This slot has dedicated equal-length trigger  
lines between Slot 2 and peripheral Slots 3 and 4 (refer to Figure 1-3).  
Slot 2 is intended for modules with star trigger functionality that can  
provide individual triggers to all other peripheral modules. However, if  
you do not require advanced trigger functionality, you can install any  
standard peripheral module in this slot.  
You also can use the star trigger slot to provide a PXI_CLK10 signal to  
the backplane. For more information regarding PXI_CLK10, refer to the  
System Reference Clock section.  
There are three peripheral slots including the star trigger slot.

Chapter 1

Local Bus  
The PXI backplane local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each  
peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right as shown  
in Figure 1-3. For example, the Slot 2 right local bus connects to the Slot 3  
left local bus, and so on.  
The left local bus signal lines on Slot 2 are used for the star trigger and do  
not connect to Slot 1. The right local bus signal lines on Slot 4 are used for  
SCXI communication.  
Each local bus is 13 lines wide and can pass analog signals up to  
42 V between cards or provide a high-speed TTL side-band digital  
communication path that does not reduce the PXI bus bandwidth.  
Initialization software uses the configuration information specific to  
adjacent peripheral modules to evaluate local bus compatibility.  
SCXI Control Slot  
Slot 4 of the PXI backplane has connections for a PXI peripheral module  
such as an NI PXI DAQ module, an NI PXI DMM module, or an  
NI-Switch controller module to control the SCXI subsystem. These  
connections use the available local bus right pins (PXI_LBR0:12). The  
SCXI connection passes communication, timing, and low-voltage analog  
bus signals between the SCXI subsystem and the PXI module in Slot 4.  
Note For more information about the local bus right pins, refer to the PXI Specification,  
Revision 2.0.  
Trigger Bus  
All slots on each PXI bus segment share eight PXI trigger lines. You can  
use these trigger lines in a variety of ways. For example, you can use  
triggers to synchronize the operation of several different PXI peripheral  
modules. In other applications, one module located in Slot 2 can control  
carefully timed sequences of operations performed on other modules in the  
system. Modules can pass triggers to one another, allowing precisely timed  
responses to asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or  
controlling.

System Reference Clock  
The PXI-1052 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10)  
independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a  
source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 500 ps  
between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. You can use  
this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a  
measurement or control system. You can drive PXI_CLK10 from an  
external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the  
star trigger slot. Refer to Table B-4, P2 (J2) Connector Pinout for the Star  
Trigger Slot. Sourcing an external clock on this pin automatically overrides  
the 10 MHz source of the backplane. Once the transition has been made,  
reset the chassis to restore it to the initial state.

PXI System Configuration with MAX  
Configuration of the PXI system is handled through Measurement &  
Automation Explorer (MAX), included on the NI Driver CD packaged with  
NI PXI controllers and devices. MAX creates the pxisys.ini file, which  
defines the layout and parameters of your PXI system. After installing the

the kit to each chassis in the PXI system, and write in the chassis  
number accordingly in the white space.  
Figure 2-6. Chassis Number Label  
Trigger Configuration in MAX  
Each chassis has one or more trigger buses, each with eight lines numbered  
0 through 7 that you can reserve and route statically or dynamically. Static  
reservation pre-allocates a trigger line to prevent its configuration by a user  
program. Dynamic reservation/routing/deallocation is automatic within a  
user program based upon NI APIs such as NI-DAQmx. You can implement  
static reservation of trigger lines in MAX through the Triggers tab.  
Reserved trigger lines are not used by PXI modules dynamically  
configured by programs such as NI-DAQmx. This prevents the instruments  
from double-driving the trigger lines, possibly damaging devices in the  
chassis.  
Complete the following steps to reserve these trigger lines in MAX.  
1. In the Configuration tree, click the PXI chassis branch you want to  
configure.  
2. Click the Triggers tab at the bottom of the right-hand pane.

Installation and Configuration  
Using System Configuration and Initialization Files  
The PXI specification allows many combinations of PXI chassis and  
system modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of PXI  
chassis and system modules must document the capabilities of their  
products. The minimum documentation requirements are contained in  
.ini files, which consist of ASCII text. System integrators, configuration  
utilities, and device drivers can use these .ini files.  
The capability documentation for the PXI-1052 chassis is contained in the  
chassis.ini file on the software media that comes with the chassis. The  
information in this file is combined with information about the system  
controller to create a single system initialization file called pxisys.ini  
(PXI System Initialization). The system controller manufacturer either  
provides a pxisys.ini file for the particular chassis model that contains  
the system controller or provides a utility that can read an arbitrary  
chassis.ini file and generate the corresponding pxisys.ini file.  
NI system controllers use MAX to generate the pxisys.ini file from the  
chassis.ini file.  
Device drivers and other utility software read the pxisys.ini file to  
obtain system information. Device drivers should not need to directly read  
the chassis.ini file. For detailed information regarding initialization  
files, refer to the PXI specification at www.pxisa.org.  
SCXI Configuration with MAX  
To use the SCXI capabilities of the PXI-1052 chassis, you must configure

Configure Channels and Tasks  
A physical channel is a terminal or pin at which you can measure or  
generate an analog or digital signal. A virtual channel is a collection of  
settings that can include a name, a physical channel, input terminal  
connections, the type of measurement or generation, and scaling  
information. In Traditional NI-DAQ and earlier versions, configuring  
virtual channels is an optional way to record which channels are used for  
different measurements. In NI-DAQmx, virtual channels are integral to  
every measurement.  
NI PXI-1052 User Manual

Chapter 2  
Installation and Configuration  
In Traditional NI-DAQ, you configure virtual channels using MAX. In  
NI-DAQmx, you can configure virtual channels with the DAQ Assistant,  
which you can open from MAX or your application software. You also can  
configure virtual channels with the NI-DAQmx API in your application  
program.  
A task, an important new concept for NI-DAQmx, is a collection of one  
or more virtual channels with timing, triggering, and other properties.  
Conceptually, a task represents a measurement or generation you want to  
perform. You can set up and save all of the configuration information in a  
task and use the task in an application.  
In NI-DAQmx, you can configure virtual channels as part of a task or  
separate from a task. Virtual channels created inside a task are local  
channels. Virtual channels defined outside a task are global channels. You  
can create global channels in MAX or in your application software and then  
save them in MAX. You can use global channels in any application or add  
them to a number of different tasks. If you modify a global channel, the  
change affects all tasks in which you reference that global channel. In most  
cases, it is simpler to use local channels.

Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis  
and cleaning the fan filters. Refer to the module user documentation for  
information on cleaning individual CompactPCI, SCXI, or PXI modules.  
Interior Cleaning  
Exterior Cleaning  
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis.  
Use a soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components.  
Cautions Avoid getting water inside the chassis during exterior cleaning, especially  
through the top vents. Use just enough water to dampen the cloth.  
Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while  
cleaning the chassis.  
Do not use harsh chemical cleaning agents; they can damage the chassis. Avoid chemicals  
that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.  
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a  
soft-bristle brush. If any dirt remains, wipe with a cloth moistened with  
a mild cleaning agent. Remove any soap residue by wiping with a cloth  
moistened with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of  
the chassis.

Cleaning and Replacing the Fan Filters  
Note Power off the chassis and unplug the AC power cable before cleaning or removing  
the fan filters.  
Dirty fan filters can dramatically reduce the cooling performance of the  
PXI-1052 chassis. Clean the filters whenever they become visibly dirty.  
You can remove the chassis air filters from the rear of the chassis easily by  
removing the filter retainer. To remove the filter retainer, loosen the retainer  
screws. The filter cover and retainer are shown in Figure 1-2, Rear View of  
the PXI-1052 Chassis.  
Clean the fan filters by washing them with a mild cleaning agent and then  
vacuuming or blowing air through them. Rinse the filters with water and  
allow them to dry before reinstalling them on the chassis.  
You can purchase the same filter media in sheets, and make a filter  
replacement.  
Resetting the AC Mains Circuit Breaker  
If the PXI-1052 encounters an over-current condition, the circuit breaker  
on the rear panel trips to prevent damage to the chassis. Complete the  
following steps to reset the circuit breaker.  
1. Press the front panel power switch to the Off (Standby) position.  
2. Disconnect the AC power cable.  
3. Depress the circuit breaker to reset it.  
4. Reconnect the AC power cable.  
5. Press the power switch to the On position.  
If the circuit breaker trips again, complete the following steps:  
1. Press the front panel power switch to the Off (Standby) position.  
2. Disconnect the AC power cable.  
3. Remove all modules from the chassis.  
4. Complete the procedure described in the Connecting to Power Source  
section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration. If the system  
power switch LED is not a steady green, contact NI through the  
information given in Appendix C, Technical Support and Professional  
Services.

5. Verify that the PXI-1052 can meet the power requirements of the  
installed CompactPCI, SCXI, or PXI modules. Overloading the  
chassis can cause the breaker to trip. Refer to Appendix A,  
Specifications.  
6. The over-current condition that caused the circuit breaker to trip can  
be due to a faulty CompactPCI, SCXI, or PXI module. Refer to the  
documentation supplied with the modules for troubleshooting  
information.
