NI PXI Platform: Flexible and Scalable
Industry standard for building high-performance automated test systems
PXI Systems
Build high-performance mixed-measurement systems with NI’s easy-to-scale PXI platform. platform.
PXI is an advanced test and measurement solution that combines hardware and software components, including chassis, controllers, and modules, to tackle complex measurement and automation challenges. Renowned for its flexibility and reliability, engineers use this platform to build high-performance, mixed-measurement systems for validation and production
PXI offers engineers high performance while reducing test time and cost compared to traditional box instruments. The combination of modularity and software connectivity is ideal for advanced test applications that require precise, large-channel count, mixed-measurement solutions.
Best for:
- Production test systems for electronic devices
- Automated validation test
- High-channel, high-speed test applications
- Combining instruments, sensors, and electrical measurements
Why Choose PXI?
Flexible and Scalable
Delivers unparalleled accuracy, reliability, and timing-sync capabilities, with the ability to synchronize across multiple modules or chassis for system expansion. Customize and scale test systems as tech and requirements change.
High Performance
Experience unparalleled instrument performance, data throughput, and latency throughout your test and measurement applications.
Software Defined
Leverage the platform’s open architecture to develop application-specific measurement and analysis programs using NI LabVIEW, Python, and other languages.
Vibrant Ecosystem
Connect with a global network of vendors, integrators, and consultants for unlimited customization and support.
PXI System Components
PXI systems are composed of three main hardware components: a chassis, a controller, and modules. System software is customizable and helps you configure, visualize, and automate measurements, analyze your data, and share reports.
Chassis
The chassis is the backbone of a PXI system and is comparable to a PC’s mechanical enclosure and motherboard. It provides power, cooling, and a communication bus to the system, and synchronizes the instrument modules. Chassis range in size from two to 18 slots to fit the needs of your application, whether you require a portable, benchtop, rack-mount, or embedded system.
