Frequently asked questions

A PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) test system is a modular, high-performance measurement and automation system based on a PC architecture. It allows for flexible configuration with a wide range of instrument modules, providing scalability and cost-effectiveness.

PXI systems offer advantages over traditional benchtop instruments, including modularity, scalability, smaller footprint, better cooling and cabling, and increased efficiency.

Consider factors such as instrument selection, software environment, communication path, and system control when transitioning to a PXI test system. Understanding the different options and tradeoffs will help in developing an effective system strategy.

PXI systems offer a range of software options, including instrument drivers, application-specific software, and programming environments like LabVIEW, LabWindows, Visual Studio, and MATLAB.

Application-specific software can significantly reduce programming time and effort, ensuring measurement accuracy and repeatability. It often includes support for standards-compliant measurements, development of go/no-go tests, and specialized capabilities like demodulation of complex modulation schemes.
