The PXI Modular Instrumentation Architecture
Overview
The PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) specification
defines a rugged PC platform for measurement and
automation. PXI modular instrumentation leverages the
Software
high-speed PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Bus
which is the de facto standard driving today’s desktop
computer software and hardware designs. As a result, PXI
users can enjoy all the benefits of PCI within an architecture
that supports mechanical, electrical, and software features Electrical Mechanical
that make sense for test and measurement, data acquisition,
and industrial computing applications.

The PXI specification, now at revision 2.0, leverages the Co
