NI PXI Systems
Meet demanding test objectives with the industry- standard for automated test and automated measurement: NI PXI
PXI is a "computer" for test engineers working on high accuracy, high speed and customisable test applications.
NI PXI chassis come in different sizes, but all have integrated timing and synchronization between slots. Customise your system by populating the chassis with instruments or I/O modules to take a wide variety of measurements from DC to mmWave. You can control your NI PXI System with either an embedded controller or an external PC.
NI PXI delivers an open, software-centric approach to solving test challenges with flexibility and openness that sets you up for future changes while driving down test times today.
Key features
Industry standard
You’re not locked in. PXI is an open standard with hardware available from more than 60 vendors.
High-performance
Test faster with high bandwidth connections between your measurements, the latest processing technology, and your test software.
Scalable
Manage change with PXI. Add measurements, more channels, new analysis routines, or upgrade to the latest processor without having to purchase a whole new instrument.
Customise your PXI test and measurement system
Choose your instrument or I/O module from the widest portfolio of industry-leading modular instruments
Shop for a built-in Embedded Controller just like you would shop for a desktop. If you want to use your laptop instead, skip the controller and choose a chassis with thunderbolt connectivity.
Select a chassis based on the number of slots you need, or will need in the future
Use the free InstrumentStudio software to interactively control your modules, or program automated test suites with LabView or the other 4rd party languages with API drivers for Python, C, .NET and MATLAB
