GX7600 SERIES
9 SLOT, 3U PXI EXPRESS CHASSIS
• Supports a 3U (embedded or remote) cPCI Express controller, 2 PXI Express hybrid slots,
5 PXI slots, and a PXI Express system timing slot
• Built-in peripherals (hard disk drive, and a DVD-RW drive) for embedded controller
configurations
• Compact footprint is ideal for bench top or portable applications
• Integral Smart functions provide per slot temperature monitoring and system power supply
voltage monitoring

CONFIGURATION

The GX7600 Series mainframes are compact, 9-slot PXI chassis
that can accommodate up to 8 instruments as well as an
embedded single slot cPCI Express controller such as the
GX7944 or a PXI Express external bus controller such as the x1
or x4 MXI - PXI Express interface. The GX7600’s compact 3U
form-factor occupies only 9 x 18 inches of bench space, making
it ideal for benchtop or space constrained applications. And
when combined with 8 peripheral slots, integral Smart functions,
and the bandwidth of PXI Express, the GX7600 represents a
new level of performance, capabilities and value for PXI
mainframes.

The nine-slot layout of the GX7600 consists of five PXI slots,
two PXI hybrid slots, one PXIe timing slot, and one cPCIe
controller slot. The PXI backplane supports a x4 PCI Express
lane configuration for the two hybrid slots and the system timing
slot, providing an aggregate bus bandwidth of 3 GB/s. An
additional x1 PCI Express lane interfaces to a PCI bridge device
for support of the 5 PXI slots. Full support of the PXI Express
timing, triggering, and synchronization resources is provided
including support for the PXI Express system timing slot.

FEATURES
System power for the GX7600 Series is provided by a single
power supply configuration that provides 550 watts of system
power.
Forced-air cooling for the chassis is provided by two 79 CFM
fans located under the card cage with a separate fan providing
cooling for the system power supply. Based on internal chassis
temperature, chassis fan speed is automatically adjusted,
minimizing acoustic noise emissions. The chassis’ cooling
configuration provides airflow for all module slots per the PXI
specification and requires no additional rack space for inlet or
outlet air.
Like all Marvin Test Solutions' PXI chassis, the GX7600
incorporates Smart functions, which supports the monitoring of
slot temperatures and system power supply voltages. In
addition, the user can program the temperature monitoring
function for specific warning and shutdown limits. All user
specific setups can be stored in nonvolatile memory as a user
configuration and can be used as the default setup for normal
chassis operation. All Smart functions are available with master
or slave chassis configurations.

PROGRAMMING AND SOFTWARE
The chassis is supplied with the GxChassis software which
provides software libraries and a driver, programming examples,
virtual panel application and documentation. The virtual panel
provides a way to control, configure and display the smart
chassis' features, including temperature monitoring, trigger line
mapping, and power supply voltage monitoring. A 32/64-bit
Windows DLL driver is provided with various interface files for
accessing the DLL functions from programming tools and
languages such as ATEasy, LabVIEW, C/C++, Microsoft Visual
Basic®, Delphi, and more. A User's Guide provides
documentation that includes instructions for installing, using and
programming the chassis.
