(pin 5) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 1 or 9). As long as this connection exists, 

the chassis will remain off (standby); when you remove this connection, the 

chassis turns on.

Note

For the Remote Inhibit signal to control the On/Off (standby) state of the chassis, the 

Inhibit Mode switch must be in the 

Manual

 position.

PXI_CLK10 Rear Connectors

There are two BNC connectors on the rear of the NI PXIe-1075 chassis for 

PXI_CLK10, as shown in Figure 1-2, 

Rear View of the NI PXIe-1075 

Chassis

. The connectors are labeled IN and OUT. You can use them for 

supplying the backplane with PXI_CLK10 or routing the backplane’s 

PXI_CLK10 to another chassis. Refer to the 

System Reference Clock

section of Chapter 1, 

Getting Started

, for details about these signals.

PXI Express System Configuration with MAX

The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis 

automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate 

a 

pxiesys.ini

 file. You can configure your entire PXI system and 

identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer 

(MAX), included with your system controller. MAX creates the 

pxiesys.ini

 and 

pxisys.ini

 files, which define your PXI system 

parameters. MAX also provides an interface to route and reserve triggers 

so dynamic routing, through drivers such as DAQmx, avoids 

double-driving and potentially damaging trigger lines. For more 

information about routing and reserving PXI triggers, refer to 

KnowledgeBase 3TJDOND8 at 

ni.com/support

.

The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
