Data Acquisition Systems Readers’ Choice Award Winner: PXI
Modular instrumentation systems based on the open industry-standard PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) architecture deliver high-performance, PC-based measurement and automation systems. PCI extensions deliver performance improvements over older architectures by combining the PCI bus with a modular, chassis-based architecture. It then adds timing and synchronization to provide integration among modules designed specifically for measurement and automation applications.
