The National Instruments PXI-1011 integrates a 4-slot PXI backplane and an 8-slot SCXI backplane in one combination chassis. It supports systems combining PXI data acquisition with SCXI signal conditioning or switching.
Core content remains expanded and crawlable.
The PXI-1011 combines two modular instrumentation platforms: a four-slot PXI subsystem and an eight-slot SCXI subsystem. This architecture brings PXI acquisition hardware and SCXI modules together within a single chassis.
NI documents SCXI control using an M Series PXI module installed in the rightmost PXI slot, without external cables or adapters for that internal connection. The chassis also has an integrated backplane serving all eight SCXI switch positions for documented multimodule scanning configurations.

It has a four-slot PXI backplane and a separate eight-slot SCXI backplane. These are different subsystem slot counts, not twelve interchangeable PXI slots.
Yes. NI documents this configuration with the M Series PXI module in the rightmost PXI slot. No external cables or adapters are necessary for that internal SCXI control connection; check the chosen module's documentation for detailed requirements.
NI provides a PXI-1011 rack-mount kit installation guide. The kit supports flush mounting or five recessed positions to accommodate module connections and terminal blocks.
