PXI-1025 MegaPAC
The PXI-1025 MegaPAC is the first portable PXI computer platform designed with the utility, ruggedness, modularity, and expandability needed for demanding test and measurement, instrumentation, and communications applications. With eight expansion slots and 350W peak power, the fully self-contained PXI-1025 constitutes a complete high-performance measurement and automation system in a compact package. The PXI-1025 was jointly developed by National Instruments and Dolch Computer Systems.

The PXI-1025 cooling system has a temperature sensor that controls the speed of its high-capacity fans to maintain proper internal temperature. Because of its sophisticated cooling system, the PXI-1025 can operate in ambient temperatures of 0° to 50 °C. In addition, when the ambient temperature is moderate, a “quiet” mode slows the fans, to reduce unnecessary noise.

The MegaPAC design incorporates a unique dual-chassis structure that “floats” the inner structure from the external chassis using an eight-point IsoGuard shock-isolating matrix. With this technique, harmful shock and vibration energy is absorbed before it can affect the internal components or PXI modules. Overtravel snubbers are mounted between the two chassis in case of transit drops or severe impact.
