Issue Details

Some users are looking for portable vector network analyzers, specifically a PXIe-1090 dual-slot chassis with a PXIe-5633 . Therefore, they want to know if the PXIe-5633 is compatible with the PXIe-1090.

Solution

The PXIe-1090 specification clearly states that its cooling performance is 58W per slot, but the PXIe-5633 requires 82W of cooling; therefore, the hardware combination of PXIe-1090 + PXIe-5633 cannot be used.
