VXI Chassis
Chassis
The first VXIbus specification was introduced to the test and measurement community in 1987 and was initially developed to provide a card-based instrumentation platform for applications that required high density and high performance. The platform continues to thrive today by leveraging off the original specifications which define the necessary physical (real estate/cooling) and electrical standards for demanding applications and has established itself as the ‘time-tested bus you can trust’ for requirements that must be supported in excess of ten-fifteen years.

Platforms
-
The use of switching systems to route instrumentation and stimulus signals to appropriate test points on a unit under test has a very crucial role to play in most electronics test systems. The sharing of test resources, connection of calibration references, load management, and many other functions are all managed by the switching system, the switching system acts as the interface between the unit under test (UUT) and the test equipment.

PXI Express Data Acquisition Platform
Data Acquisition Module
PXI Express is the fastest data acquisition platform currently available with unmatched bandwidths in excess of 1 GB/s and latencies less than 1 µs. This makes PXI Express-based data acquisition systems ideal for data intensive applications like high-speed digitization, signal-generation, and communication interfaces where high sample rates and channel counts could choke other interfaces.
