Modular Instruments

NI modular instruments are the building blocks of economical and versatile automated test systems. With modular instruments, engineers can choose from a wide variety of measurement, signal generation, RF, power, and switch modules and then configure the instruments in software to meet their specific measurement tasks. Because these instruments are modular and software-defined, they are quickly interchanged and easily repurposed to meet evolving test needs. Additionally, NI modular instruments provide high-speed test execution by harnessing the power of industry-standard PC and advanced timing and synchronization technologies. Options are available for a variety of platforms including PXI, PXI Express, PCI, PCI Express, and USB.
