The system controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis and is a 4-Link
configuration system slot as defined by the CompactPCI Express and
PXI Express specifications. It has three system controller expansion slots
for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. These slots
allow the system controller to expand to the left to prevent the system
controller from using peripheral slots.
The backplane routes a x4 PCI Express link from the system controller
slot to slots 7 and 8, and a x1 PCI Express link to a PCI Express to PCI
Translation Bridge on the backplane. The PCI Express to PCI Translation
Bridge on the backplane provides a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus to slots 2 to 7.
The second PCI Translation Bridge provides PCI bus to slots 11, 12, 13, 15,
16, 17, and 18 (not to slot 14).
A x4 link goes to the PXI Express switch and the PCI Express connectivity
of slots 9 to 14 is connected through the switch.
The system controller slot also has connectivity to some PXI features such
as: PXI_CLK10, PXI Star, PXI Trigger Bus and PXI Local Bus 6.
NI PXIe-1065 User Manual1-6ni.com
By default, the system controller will control the power supply with the
PS_ON# signals. A logic low on this line will turn the power supply on.
Note The Inhibit Mode switch on the rear of the chassis must be in the Default position
for the system controller to have control of the power supply. Refer to the Inhibit Mode
Switch section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration, for details about the Inhibit
Mode switch.
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The chassis provides four hybrid peripheral slots as defined by the PXI-5
PXI Express Hardware Specification: slot 7 and slots 11–13. A hybrid
peripheral slot can accept the following peripheral modules:
•A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
•A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
•A hybrid-compatible PXI Peripheral module that has been modified by
•A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.

replacing the J2 connector with an XJ4 connector installed in the upper
eight rows of J2. Refer to the PXI Express Specification for details. The
PXI Peripheral communicates through the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
The hybrid peripheral slots provide full PXI Express functionality and
32-bit PXI functionality except for PXI Local Bus. The hybrid peripheral
slot only connects to PXI Local Bus 6 left and right.
PXI Peripheral Slots
There are nine PXI peripheral slots which will accept PXI or CompactPCI
peripherals: slots 2–6 and slots 15–18. These slots are on the backplane’s
32-bit PCI busses. These slots offer full PXI functionality, but have no
PXI Express features. The 64-bit PCI signals on the P2 connectors are not
connected.
There are three PXI Express peripheral slots: slots 8–10. Slot 8 is directly
connected to the system slot with a x4 PCI Express link. Slots 9 and 10 are
connected to the system slot through a PCI Express switch. PXI Express
peripheral slots can accept the following modules:
•A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot or through a switch to the system slot.
•A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot or through a switch to the system slot.
System Timing Slot
The System Timing Slot is slot 14. The system timing slot will accept the
following peripheral modules:
•A PXI Express System Timing Module with x4 or x1 PCI Express link
to the system slot through a PCIe switch.
•A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot through a PCIe switch.
•A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot through a PCIe switch.
The system timing slot has 3 dedicated differential pairs (PXIe_DSTAR)
connected from the TP1 and TP2 connectors to the XP3 connector for each
PXI Express peripheral or hybrid peripheral slot, as well as routed back to
the XP3 connector of the system timing slot as shown in Figure 1-3. The
PXIe_DSTAR pairs can be used for high-speed triggering, synchronization
and clocking. Refer to the PXI Express Specification for details.
The system timing slot also has a single-ended (PXI Star) trigger connected
to every slot. Refer to Figure 1-3 for details.
The system timing slot has a pin (PXI_CLK10_IN) through which a system
timing module may source a 10MHz clock to which the backplane will
phase-lock. Refer to the System Reference Clock section for details.
The system timing slot has a pin (PXIe_SYNC_CTRL) through which a
system timing module can control the PXIe_SYNC100 timing. Refer to the
PXI Express Specification and the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL section of this
chapter for details.

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 1-4.
The backplane routes the full 13-line PXI Local Bus between adjacent PXI
slots (slots 2–6 and 15–18) and PXI Local Bus 6 between all other slots.
Refer to Figure 1-4 for details. The left local bus 6 from slot 1 is not routed
anywhere and the right local bus signals from slot 18 are not routed
anywhere.
Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals
as high as 42 V.
Initialization software uses the configuration information specific to each
adjacent peripheral module to evaluate local bus compatibility.

Figure 1-4. PXI Trigger Bus and Local Bus Connectivity Diagram
All slots on the same 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 the system timing
slot 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.

The PXI trigger lines from adjacent PXI trigger bus segments can be routed
in either direction across the PXI trigger bridges through buffers. This
allows you to send trigger signals to, and receive trigger signals from, every
slot in the chassis. Static trigger routing (user-specified line and directional
NI PXIe-1065 User Manual1-10ni.com
assignments) can be configured through Measurement & Automation
Explorer (MAX). Dynamic routing of triggers (automatic line assignments)
is supported through certain National Instruments drivers like NI-DAQmx.
Note Although any trigger line may be routed in either direction, it cannot be routed in
more than one direction at a time.
System Reference Clock
The PXIe-1065 chassis supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal
(PXI_CLK10) independently driven to each peripheral slot and
PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 to the PXI Express slots, hybrid slots,
and system timing slot.
An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the
backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives PXI_CLK10
to each peripheral slot. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the routing configuration of
PXI_CLK10. You can use this common reference clock signal to
synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system.
An independent buffer drives PXIe_CLK100 to the PXI Express peripheral
slots, hybrid peripheral slots, and system timing slot. Refer to Figure 1-5
for the routing configuration of PXIe_CLK100. These clocks are matched
in skew to less than 100 ps. The differential pair must be terminated on the
peripheral with LVPECL termination for the buffer to drive PXIe_CLK100
so that when there is no peripheral or a peripheral that does not connect to
PXIe_CLK100, there is no clock being driven on the pair to that slot.
Chapter 1Getting Started
An independent buffer drives PXIe_SYNC100 to the PXI Express
peripheral slots, hybrid peripheral slots, and system timing slot. Refer
to Figure 1-5 for the routing configuration of PXIe_SYNC100. The
differential pair must be terminated on the peripheral with LVPECL
termination for the buffer to drive PXIe_SYNC100 so that when there is
no peripheral or a peripheral that does not connect to PXIe_SYNC100,
there is no SYNC100 signal being driven on the pair to that slot.
Figure 1-5. Distribution of PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100
PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 have the default timing

Figure 1-6. System Reference Clock Default Behavior
To synchronize the system to an external clock, you can drive PXI_CLK10
from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the System
Timing Slot. Refer to Table B-8, XP4 Connector Pinout for the System
Timing Slot, for the pinout. When a 10MHz clock is detected on this pin,
the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100,
and PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these
NI PXIe-1065 User Manual1-12ni.com
Chapter 1Getting Started
signals to the slots (refer to Figure 1-5 for the distribution of PXI_CLK10,
PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100). Refer to Appendix A,
Specifications, for the specification information for an external clock
provided on the PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the system timing slot.
You also can drive a 10MHz clock on the 10 MHz REF IN connector on the
rear of the chassis. When a 10MHz clock is detected on this connector, the
backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and
PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these signals
to the slots (refer to Figure 1-5 for the distribution of PXI_CLK10,
PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100). Refer to Appendix A,
Specifications, for the specification information for an external clock
provided on the 10 MHz REF IN connector on the rear panel of the chassis.
If the 10 MHz clock is present on both the PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the
System Timing Slot and the 10 MHz REF IN connector on the rear of the
chassis, the signal on the System Timing Slot is selected. Refer to Table 1-2
which explains how the 10 MHz clocks are selected by the backplane.

OUT connector on the rear of the chassis. This clock is driven by an
independent buffer. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the
specification information for the 10 MHz REF OUT signal on the rear
panel of the chassis.
PXIe_SYNC100 is by default a 10 ns pulse synchronous to PXI_CLK10.
The frequency of PXIe_SYNC100 is 10/n MHz, where n is a positive
integer. The default for n is 1, giving PXIe_SYNC100 a 100 ns period.
However, the backplane allows n to be programmed to other integers. For
instance, setting n = 3 gives a PXIe_SYNC100 with a 300ns period while
still maintaining its phase relationship to PXI_CLK10. The value for n may
be set to any positive integer from 1 to 255.
The system timing slot has a control pin for PXIe_SYNC100 called
PXIe_SYNC_CTRL for use when n > 1. Refer to Table B-7, XP3
Connector Pinout for the System Timing Slot, for system timing slot pinout.
Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL input
specifications.
By default, a high-level detected by the backplane on the
PXIe_SYNC_CTRL pin causes a synchronous restart for the
PXIe_SYNC100 signal. On the next PXI_CLK10 edge the
PXIe_SYNC100 signal will restart. This will allow several chassis to have
their PXIe_SYNC100 in phase with each other. Refer to Figure 1-7 for
timing details with this method.

Chassis Cooling Considerations
The NI PXIe-1065 chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an
instrument rack. Regardless of the configuration you must provide the
cooling clearances as outlined in the following sections.
Providing Adequate Clearance
The primary cooling exhaust vent for the NI PXIe-1065 is on the top of the
chassis. The primary intake vent is on the rear of the chassis. The secondary
intake and exhaust vents are located along the sides of the chassis.
Adequate clearance between the chassis and surrounding equipment or
blockages must be maintained to ensure proper cooling of the chassis
power supply as well as the modules plugged into the chassis. These
clearances are outlined in Figure 2-1. The vent locations for the
NI PXIe-1065 chassis are shown in Figure 2-2. Failure to provide these
clearances may result in thermal-related failures in the chassis or modules.
1 Primary Air Exhaust Vent
2 Primary Air Intake Vent
Figure 2-2. NI PXIe-1065 Vents
3 Secondary Air Intake/Exhaust Vents
(both sides)
Chassis Ambient Temperature Definition
The chassis fan control system uses intake air temperature as the input for
controlling fan speeds when in Auto Fan Speed mode. Because of this, the
chassis ambient temperature is defined as the temperature that exists just
outside of the fan intake vents on the rear of the chassis. Note that this
temperature may be higher than ambient room temperature depending
on the surrounding equipment and/or blockages present. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that this ambient temperature does not exceed the
NI PXIe-1065 User Manual2-4ni.com
rated ambient temperature as stated in Appendix A, Specifications. If the
temperature exceeds the stated spec the power switch LED will blink green,
as discussed in the Power Inhibit Switch LED Indicator section of this
chapter.
Setting Fan Speed
The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the NI PXIe-1065
chassis. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1065 Chassis, to
locate the fan-speed selector switch. Select High for maximum cooling
performance or Auto for improved acoustic performance. When set to
Auto, the fan speed is determined by chassis intake air temperature.
Installing Filler Panels
To maintain proper module cooling performance, install filler panels
(provided with the chassis) in unused or empty slots. Secure with the
captive mounting screws provided.
Installing Slot Blockers
The cooling performance of the chassis can be improved by installing
optional slot blockers. Refer to
Chapter 2Installation and Configuration
ni.com for more details.

The chassis power inhibit switch has an integrated LED. This LED
indicates one of four different conditions:
•If the inhibit switch LED is steady green (not flashing), the chassis is
powered on and operating normally.
•If the inhibit switch LED is flashing green, the air-intake temperature
has exceeded the chassis operating range.
•If the inhibit switch LED is flashing red, the power supply outputs are
not within voltage regulation requirements.
•If the inhibit switch LED is steady red, the system fans or power supply
fan has failed. The remaining fans will automatically be driven high.
Note If two system fans or both of the power supply fans fail the chassis will shut down
automatically, preventing the chassis and modules from damage due to overheating.
Remote Voltage Monitoring and Control
The NI PXIe-1065 chassis supports remote voltage monitoring and

If the voltages fall within the specified ranges, the chassis complies with the
CompactPCI voltage-limit specifications.
On the rear panel of the chassis there is an Inhibit Mode switch. Refer to
Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1065 Chassis, for the location. The
Inhibit Mode switch is recessed to prevent it from accidentally being
switched.
The Inhibit Mode switch should be in the Default position when normal
power inhibit switch functionality is desired. If the user needs to power on
a chassis without a system controller installed the switch should be in the
Manual position.
When the Inhibit Mode switch is set to the Manual position, the power
supplies are enabled, and you can use the Inhibit signal (active low) on
pin 5 of the Remote Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring connector to power off
the chassis. To remotely power off the chassis, connect the Inhibit pin
(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-1065 chassis for
PXI_CLK10. 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 file, 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

Trigger Configuration in MAX
Each chassis has one or more trigger buses, each with eight lines
numbered 0 through 7 that can be reserved and routed statically or
dynamically. Static reservation pre-allocates a trigger line to prevent its
configuration by a user program. Dynamic reservation/routing/deallocation
is on the fly within a user program based upon National Instruments APIs
such as NI-DAQmx. Static reservation of trigger lines can be implemented
by the user in MAX through the Triggers tab. Reserved trigger lines will
not be 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. In the default
configuration, trigger lines on each bus are independent. For example,
if trigger line 3 is asserted on trigger bus 0, by default it will not be
automatically asserted on any other trigger bus.
NI PXIe-1065 User Manual2-14ni.com
Complete the following steps to reserve these trigger lines in MAX.
1.In the Configuration tree, click on the PXI chassis branch you want to
configure.
2.Then, in the right-hand pane, toward the bottom, click on the
Triggers tab.
3.Select which trigger lines you would like to statically reserve.
4.Click the Apply button.
PXI Trigger Bus Routing
Some National Instruments chassis, such as the PXI-1065 and the
PXI-1044/1045, have the capability to route triggers from one bus to others
within the same chassis using the Trigger Routing tab in MAX, as shown
in Figure 2-6.
Note Selecting any non-disabled routing automatically reserves the line in all trigger
buses being routed to. If you are using NI-DAQmx, it will reserve and route trigger lines
for you, so you won’t have to route trigger lines manually.
Complete the following steps to configure trigger routings in MAX.
1.In the Configuration tree, select the chassis in which you want to
route trigger lines.
2.In the right-hand pane, select the Trigger Routing tab near the bottom.
3.For each trigger line, select Route Right, Route Outward From Middle, or Route Left to route triggers on that line in the described
direction, or select Disabled for the default behavior with no manual
routing.

System controllerA module configured for installation in Slot 1of a PXI chassis. This device
is unique in the PXI system in that it performs the system controller
functions, including clock sourcing and arbitration for data transfers across
the backplane. Installing such a device into any other slot can damage the
device, the PXI backplane, or both.
System Timing slotThis slot is located at slot 4 and has dedicated trigger lines to other slots.
A 10 MHz clock, also called PXI_CLK10, that is distributed to all
peripheral slots in the chassis, as well as a BNC connector on the rear of
chassis labeled 10 MHz REF OUT. The system reference clock can be used
for synchronization of multiple modules in a measurement or control
system. The 10 MHz REF IN and OUT BNC connectors on the rear of the
chassis can be used to synchronize multiple chassis to one reference clock.
