Introduction to the 16710-16
The NI 16710-16 is a 16-Slot PXI Express Chassis designed for building high-performance, modular test, measurement, and data acquisition systems. It serves as the robust backbone that houses and powers the controller and various instrumentation modules (like data acquisition cards, oscilloscopes, and signal generators) in a single, compact unit. This chassis is engineered to meet the demands of automated test equipment (ATE) and high-speed data acquisition applications, providing high-bandwidth communication between modules via the PXI Express backplane.
