PXI Express Chassis and Controllers


PXI Express FAQ
Learn how PXI Express enhances PXI

Take advantage of high-performance options when building PXI systems by using PXI Express. PXI Express is backward compatible with PXI hardware and system software. Fully integrated with the PXI platform, PXI Express gives PXI users up to 2 GB/s dedicated per-slot bandwidth and the industry’s highest-performance timing and synchronization capabilities. To provide an infrastructure compatible with both the new features of PXI Express and existing PXI modules, National Instruments provides various PXI Express chassis and controllers.
