PXI Controllers are the computing and control core of PXI and PXI Express modular test systems. They provide system processing, instrument communication, software execution, and data management capabilities required for automated testing, measurement, and industrial applications.

PXISOURCE provides National Instruments PXI Controllers and PXIe Embedded Controllers for building high-performance modular test platforms used in automated test equipment, data acquisition, RF testing, semiconductor validation, aerospace testing, and electronic verification applications.

What Is a PXI Controller?

A PXI Controller is an embedded computer or external interface that controls a PXI chassis and installed PXI modules. It runs the operating system, test software, and measurement applications required to coordinate multiple PXI instruments.

Compared with traditional desktop computers, PXI Controllers are optimized for modular instrumentation systems with dedicated PXI backplane communication, high-speed data processing, precise synchronization, and reliable long-term operation.

Types of NI PXI Controllers

PXIe Embedded Controllers

PXIe Embedded Controllers are installed directly into PXI Express chassis and provide a complete standalone PXI test system. They integrate processors, memory, storage, network interfaces, and operating systems into a compact PXI module.

Popular PXIe Embedded Controllers include PXIe-8822, PXIe-8880, and other high-performance PXI Express controller platforms.

High-Performance PXI Controllers

High-performance PXI Controllers are designed for demanding applications requiring advanced processing power, high-speed data handling, and complex automated test workflows.

They are commonly used with PXI digitizers, RF instruments, FPGA modules, and high-channel-count data acquisition systems.

Typical applications include semiconductor testing, RF validation, electronic design verification, and large-scale automated test systems.

PXI Remote Controllers

PXI Remote Controllers allow external computers to communicate with PXI chassis through high-speed interfaces. This configuration provides flexible system architecture when additional computing resources or centralized control are required.

Remote PXI control solutions are suitable for laboratory environments, distributed test systems, and applications requiring external processing capability.

PXI Embedded Computer Platforms

PXI Embedded Computer Platforms combine industrial computing performance with PXI modular instrumentation technology. They provide reliable operation for continuous testing, production validation, and engineering development.
