Product Overview

The PXI-1031 is a compact 4-slot AC-powered PXI chassis designed and manufactured by National Instruments for benchtop test, measurement, data acquisition and small-scale automated validation systems. This enclosure integrates a fully compliant PXI backplane with one dedicated embedded controller slot plus three peripheral module slots, supporting hot-plug installation of all 3U form-factor PXI and CompactPCI I/O, digitizer, switching and communication modules. It solves key laboratory deployment pain points including excessive operational fan noise disrupting office and research environments, insufficient slot-level thermal dissipation under continuous module loading, lack of standardized trigger synchronization across multi-card setups, and bulky rack-mounted hardware unsuitable for portable desktop test benches. Test and measurement engineers, university laboratory researchers, quality control technicians and automated validation system developers in electronics testing, aerospace component verification, automotive sensor calibration and educational lab training obtain streamlined modular testing architecture with this National Instruments chassis.
