The National Instruments PXI-1002 is a PXI chassis. NI lists an approximate empty-chassis power draw of 26 W, a planning figure that does not represent the power consumption of a populated system.
Core content remains expanded and crawlable.
The PXI-1002 belongs to NI's PXI chassis platform. A PXI system combines a chassis, a controller, and measurement or instrumentation modules; these components should be selected as a complete system rather than treating the chassis as a standalone instrument.
NI's archived backplane-access guidance explicitly includes the PXI-1002. It describes viewing a physical PXI backplane through VISA Test Panels in Measurement & Automation Explorer, and creating a simulated chassis for examining a simulated backplane.

NI estimates 26 W for the empty chassis. This is an approximate value, and actual consumption may vary. It is not the total consumption of a system containing a controller and modules.
Yes. NI's archived article on simulating a PXI chassis lists the PXI-1002 and describes accessing physical or simulated PXI backplanes through VISA Test Panels in MAX. NI notes that the article is not actively maintained.
