The modular PXI platform is designed especially for measurement and automation
applications, providing scalable and adaptable solutions that can satisfy the needs of even the
most complex test scenarios.
Compared to earlier platforms, PXI offers greater flexibility, adaptability, and integration. For
industries where accuracy and dependability are essential, the external or integrated controllers
that control PXI modules guarantee synchronized operation.
PXI stands for PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation. This modular platform is built on the foundation of the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus standard. The flexible framework of the PXI platform makes it an excellent choice for automation and measurement applications, as it combines traditional PC technology with state-of-the-art instrumentation capabilities.
The PXI Specification Standard was developed by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA) to satisfy the accuracy and dependability requirements of test and measurement. These technical specifications regulate the mechanical, electrical, and functional characteristics of PXI systems.
Based on the PCI bus standard, the PXI platform makes use of a compact, modular chassis
that is usually 3U high. With PXI, a single chassis is designed to contain multiple modules. This
modular architecture allows for easy expansion and flexibility when testing. Furthermore, PXI
modules often provide cross-platform compatibility.
The SCXI platform utilizes a more traditional rack-and-stack design, with modules housed in
independent enclosures that slide into standard 19-inch racks. Although SCXI modules may be
connected with PXI systems with the correct adapters, their most popular applications are either
independent or used in combination with other SCXI modules.
Depending on the model, four distinct slot types are available on the PXIe chassis. These slot types are PXI peripheral, PXIe timing, PXIe peripheral, and PXIe hybrid peripheral.
