The PXI-1042 mainframe itself, as a chassis, does not require calibration. However, the PXI modular instruments (cards) installed in the chassis will require regular calibration based on their type and manufacturer recommendations (often annually or as specified in their datasheet).

National Instruments PXI-1042 Calibration Service
Your National Instruments PXI-1042 Doesn’t Need Guesswork.
It Needs Calibration — Without the Runaround.
Your organization trusts the National Instruments PXI-1042 PXI Mainframe Chassis to tell you the truth.
So why accept a calibration sourcing process built on phone tag, vague quotes, and one‑size‑fits‑all labs?
Rogue Calibration flips that model.
We don’t calibrate your equipment.
We put calibration providers in competition for your business.
What That Means for You
- Access to calibration labs experienced with National Instruments instruments
- Accredited and traceable calibration options
- Documentation suitable for ISO, FDA, and regulated environments
- Clear turnaround times and transparent pricing
- Control to choose the provider that fits your needs and timeline
Whether you’re managing a single National Instruments PXI-1042 calibration or coordinating multiple instruments and locations, Rogue Calibration helps you eliminate guesswork, reduce downtime, and source calibration with confidence.
Better options. Better data. Better calibration sourcing.
Our partners provide traceable electrical calibration services to help ensure measurement accuracy, compliance, and continued usability of your equipment.
Quick Overview
- What it is: An 8-slot mainframe chassis for PXI modular instrumentation systems.
- Typical use: Houses and powers PXI modules for applications such as automated test, data acquisition, and measurement.
- Status: Discontinued (out of production, no longer supported by NI; available through resellers/secondary market).
The National Instruments PXI-1042 PXI Mainframe Chassis is built for precision—but precision only matters if the calibration is done right. Expert calibration ensures it is tested against traceable standards, adjusted correctly, and proven accurate where it counts. No shortcuts. No guesses.
When safety, compliance, and real‑world decisions are on the line, professional calibration is the difference between trusting your readings and hoping they’re right.
