Can PXI-5114 fit into PXIe 1085 Chassis

[Hans_Weng]

MY company plan to buy the PXIe 1085 chassis. But we also want to use PXI module: PXI-5114, PXI-5404, PXI-5406 and PXI-6723. From the picture on the website, sounds like they can not fit into the Hyberid slot of the PXIe-1085 chassis? Is that true?  I want to be clear about this before we purchase.

Thanks,

Hans

Hello Hans, 

The PXIe 1085 is compatible with PXI, PXI Express, CompactPCI, and CompactPCI Express modules. I encourage you to use the online PXI System builder linked below. This resource is a useful guide for configuring your own PXI system. Are you looking to purchase the NI PXI-5404 100 MHz Frequency Generator or NI PXI-5404, 100MHZ Frequency Source eHM Conn?

Haley,

Thanks for your reply. We do use the online PXI system builder. One engineer select the chassis, module and controllers using the PXI system builder. Eventually, when we review the order, we are confused. Let me explain it in detail:

1. Here is a picture I copied from the PXI 5114 datasheet:

2. Here is another picture of the PXIe1085

.

3. The highlight part in the PXIe 1085 is for the compact pci express. Looks like it can not mate the PXI connector J2 in PXI 5114. 

4. Among those 16 modules we choose, I found 4 modules that have such a problem: PXI-5114, PXI-5404, PXI-5406 and PXI-6723

5. This is where my question comes from and I want to confirm before we place the order.

6. I also saw some module like this PXI5105, part of J2 is removed to mate into a hyperbrid chassis.

Any way, make things simple, suppose I buy PXIe1085 Chassis, and those modules PXI-5114, PXI-5404, PXI-5406 and PXI-6723, can I plug them into the PXIe1085 Hyberid chassis and mate with each other?

BTW> We plan to purchase NI PXI-5404 100 MHz Frequency Generator.  

Thanks,

Hans

Hello Hans, 

Each of those modules is hybrid-compatible. The devices are equipped with the smaller XJ4 connector. One thing to note is that the PXI-5404 (778577-02) is the hybrid compatible version. 

The page linked below discusses hybrid compatibility further in section 2. 

PXI-5404 (778577-01)
