Product Description

PXI4950 Outside System Slot Module Board - High-Speed PXI Test System Control Solutions

The PXI4950 Outside System Slot Module Board is a system controller based on the main control computer PCI bus. It consists of three components: PXI4950, PXI4932, and a dedicated cable. This controller is designed to build single PXI test systems and can also be cascaded across multiple chassis to construct complex test systems.

The PCIe interface provides a high serial transmission speed of up to 2.5Gb/s, while the PCI interface supports 32-bit transmission at a 33MHz clock frequency. It features over-voltage protection, which automatically disconnects the power supply to enter a protection state when the operating voltage is abnormal, effectively avoiding damage to the PXI4950. The supporting cables are equipped with anti-misplug and self-locking functions, ensuring convenient plugging and reliable connection.
