About the SCXI Chassis
The SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001 chassis are powered with standard AC
power. The SCXI-1000DC is powered by any 9.5 to 16 VDC source such
as the optional SCXI-1382 battery pack or the SCXI-1383 power supply.
Every SCXI chassis supplies a low-noise environment for signal
conditioning, supplying power and control circuitry for the modules. It is
a general-purpose chassis that you can use with current SCXI modules.
