PXI Systems

PXI Systems

PXI Systems are high-performance modular test and measurement platforms designed for automated testing, data acquisition, electronic validation, RF testing, and industrial measurement applications. Based on the PXI and PXI Express architectures, NI PXI systems combine high-speed communication, precise synchronization, and flexible modular hardware to build scalable engineering test solutions.

PXISOURCE provides a wide range of National Instruments PXI products including PXI chassis, PXI controllers, PXI modules, and complete PXI test system solutions. Our PXI products support applications across aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, wireless communication, research laboratories, and industrial automation.

What Is a PXI System?

PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a modular instrumentation platform developed for high-performance automated test and measurement applications. A PXI system typically consists of a PXI chassis, embedded controller, and functional PXI modules such as data acquisition modules, digitizers, RF instruments, switches, and signal generators.

Compared with traditional standalone instruments, PXI systems provide higher integration, better synchronization capability, and improved test throughput. Engineers can easily configure PXI platforms according to different application requirements by selecting suitable chassis, controllers, and measurement modules.

PXI System Components

PXI Chassis

PXI chassis provide the mechanical structure, power supply, cooling system, and PXI backplane for PXI modules. Available in different slot counts and performance levels, PXI chassis support various test system configurations from compact laboratory setups to large-scale automated test platforms.
