Multiple RFSGs in a PXI chassis

[santosh reddy n]

Hello

I would like to know whether I can use multiple RFSGs (PXI 5671) in a single PXI chassis. If possible, what is the maximum number of RFSGs that I could use?

Regards

Santosh

Hello Santosh,

This is a good question and will depend on what chassis you have. There is a great KnowledgeBase to address this question:
Performing a Power Budget on a PXI System
You will need to open the specifications of your chassis and the specifications of the NI PXI-5671. Then, fill the spreadsheet and make sure:
1. Ensure the Amps (current) available at each rail can supply the current requirements of all modules
2. Ensure the total Watts (power) supplied by the chassis is sufficient for the total  power for all modules
3. If some rails share power (usually 3.3V and 5.5V), ensure the total power for these rails is sufficient)

Hope this helps,
