Overview
PXI Express (PXIe), like the PXI system, is a modular instrument platform designed exclusively for measurement and automation applications. PXIe features the same enhanced mechanical integrity as the PXI system, with the added advantage of a PCIe bus delivering up to 8 GB/s bandwidth.
The increased bandwidth recommends the PXIe system as an excellent platform for high bandwidth applications such as high frequency and resolution IF/RF systems, high speed digital interfaces, and high channel count data and high speed image acquisition environments.
The PXIe standard also supports backward compatibility, by which the PXIe system is thoroughly operational with cPCI, PXI, cPCIe, and PXIe modules, greatly reducing upgrade-based expenditure and TCO (total cost of ownership).Additonally, PXIe systems provide upgraded trigger and synchronization functions, with the single-ended star trigger of the original PXI standard replaced with three pairs of differential star triggers, together with a new 100MHz clock, enhancing both accuracy and quality of measurement performance.
