The National Instruments PXI-1031DC is a four-slot PXI chassis for systems requiring a DC power source. NI specifies connection to a localized battery or DC source rather than a centralized DC system.
Core content remains expanded and crawlable.
The PXI-1031DC belongs to NI's compact PXI-1031 chassis family and provides DC-powered operation for a four-slot PXI system.
Power installation requires attention to the dedicated DC cable and its protective fuse. NI's cable-kit guide covers source connection, polarity, fuse replacement, and cable-length restrictions.
