The design of the NI PXIe-1062Q provides you the flexibility to use the
following devices in a single PXI Express chassis:
• PXI Express compatible products
• CompactPCI Express compatible 4-Link system controller products
• CompactPCI Express compatible Type-2 peripheral products
• PXI peripheral products
• Standard CompactPCI peripheral products
Manual
Sales: [phone] Website: www.amplicon.com Email:[e-mail]
IT and Instrumentation for industryAmplicon.com

Chapter 1 Getting Started
System Controller Slot
The system controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis and is a 4-Link
configuration system slot as defined by the CompactPCI Express and
PXI Express specifications. It has three system controller expansion slots
for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. These slots
allow the system controller to expand to the left to prevent the system
controller from using peripheral slots.
The backplane routes a x4 PCI Express link from the system controller slot
to slots 3, 4, and 5, and a x1 PCI Express link to a PCI Express to PCI
Translation Bridge on the backplane. The PCI Express to PCI Translation
Bridge on the backplane provides a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus to slots 2, 3, 5,
6, 7, and 8.
The system controller slot also has connectivity to some PXI features such
as: PXI_CLK10, PXI Star, PXI Trigger Bus and PXI Local Bus 6.
By default, the system controller will control the power supply with the
PS_ON# signals. A logic low on this line will turn the power supply on.
Note The Inhibit Mode switch on the rear of the chassis must be in the Default position
for the system controller to have control of the power supply. Refer to the Inhibit Mode
Switch section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration, for details about the Inhibit
Mode switch.
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The chassis provides two hybrid peripheral slots as defined by the PXI-5
PXI Express Hardware Specification: slot 3 and slot 5. A hybrid peripheral
slot can accept the following peripheral modules:
• A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot
• A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot
• A hybrid-compatible PXI Peripheral module that has been modified by
replacing the J2 connector with an XJ4 connector installed in the upper
eight rows of J2. Refer to the PXI Express Specification for details. The
PXI Peripheral communicates through the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
• A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus
The hybrid peripheral slots provide full PXI Express functionality and
32-bit PXI functionality except for PXI Local Bus. The hybrid peripheral
slot only connects to PXI Local Bus 6 left and right.
Manual
Sales: [phone] Website: www.amplicon.com Email:[e-mail]
IT and Instrumentation for industryAmplicon.com

Chapter 1 Getting Started
PXI Peripheral Slots
There are four PXI peripheral slots which will accept PXI or CompactPCI
peripherals: slot 2, slot 6, slot 7, and slot 8. These slots are on the
backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus. These slots offer full PXI functionality, but
have no PXI Express features. The 64-bit PCI signals on the P2 connectors
are not connected.
System Timing Slot
The System Timing Slot is slot 4. The system timing slot will accept the
following peripheral modules:
• A PXI Express System Timing Module with x4 or x1 PCI Express link
to the system slot.
• A PXI Express Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express link to the system
slot.
• A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral with x4 or x1 PCI Express
link to the system slot.
The system timing slot has 3 dedicated differential pairs (PXIe_DSTAR)
connected from the TP2 connector to the XP3 connector for each hybrid
peripheral slot, as well as routed back to the XP3 connector of the system
timing slot as shown in Figure 1-3. The PXIe_DSTAR pairs can be used for
high-speed triggering, synchronization and clocking. Refer to the
PXI Express Specification for details.
The system timing slot also has a single-ended (PXI Star) trigger connected
to every slot. Refer to Figure 1-3 for details.
The system timing slot has a pin (PXI_CLK10_IN) through which a system
timing module may source a 10MHz clock to which the backplane will
phase-lock. Refer to the System Reference Clock section for details.
The system timing slot has a pin (PXIe_SYNC_CTRL) through which a
system timing module can control the PXIe_SYNC100 timing. Refer to the
PXI Express Specification and the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL section of this
chapter for details.

PXI Local Bus
The PXI backplane local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each
peripheral slot with adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right, as shown
in Figure 1-4.
The backplane routes the full 13-line PXI Local Bus between adjacent
PXI slots (slots 6, 7, and 8) and PXI Local Bus 6 between all other slots.
Refer to Figure 1-4 for details. The left local bus 6 from slot 1 is not routed
anywhere and the right local bus signals from slot 8 are not routed
anywhere.
Local bus signals may range from high-speed TTL signals to analog signals
as high as 42 V.

Initialization software uses the configuration information specific to each
adjacent peripheral module to evaluate local bus compatibility.
Figure 1-4. PXI Trigger Bus and Local Bus Connectivity Diagram
PXI Trigger Bus
All slots share eight trigger lines.You can use these trigger lines in a variety
of ways. For example, you can use triggers to synchronize the operation of
several different PXI peripheral modules. In other applications, one module
can control carefully timed sequences of operations performed on other
modules in the system. Modules can pass triggers to one another, allowing
precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events the system is
monitoring or controlling.
System Reference Clock
The NI PXIe-1062Q chassis supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal
(PXI_CLK10) independently driven to each peripheral slot and
PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 to the hybrid slots and system
timing slot.
An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the
backplane and a skew of less than 250 ps between slots) drives PXI_CLK10
to each peripheral slot. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the routing configuration of
PXI_CLK10. You can use this common reference clock signal to
synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system.
An independent buffer drives PXIe_CLK100 to the hybrid peripheral slots
and system timing slot. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the routing configuration of
PXIe_CLK100. These clocks are matched in skew to less than 100 ps. The

termination for the buffer to drive PXIe_CLK100 so that when there is no
peripheral or a peripheral that does not connect to PXIe_CLK100, there is
no clock being driven on the pair to that slot.
An independent buffer drives PXIe_SYNC100 to the hybrid peripheral slot
and system timing slot. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the routing configuration of
PXIe_SYNC100. These clocks are matched in skew to less than 100 ps.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100 have the default timing
relationship described in Figure 1-6.
Figure 1-6. System Reference Clock Default Behavior
To synchronize the system to an external clock, you can drive PXI_CLK10
from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the System
Timing Slot. Refer to Table B-7,
XP4 Connector Pinout for the System
Timing Slot
, for the pinout. When a 10 MHz clock is detected on this pin,
the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100,
and PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these
signals to the slots (refer to Figure 1-5 for the distribution of PXI_CLK10,
PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100). Refer to Appendix A,
Specifications ,
for the specification information for an external clock provided on the
PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the system timing slot.
You also can drive a 10 MHz clock on the 10 MHz REF IN connector on the
rear of the chassis. When a 10 MHz clock is detected on this connector, the
backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and
PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these signals
to the slots (refer to Figure 1-5 for the distribution of PXI_CLK10,
PXIe_CLK100 and PXIe_SYNC100). Refer to Appendix A,
Specifications ,
for the specification information for an external clock provided on the 10
MHz REF IN connector on the rear panel of the chassis.
