PXI = Compact PCI + eXtensions for Instrumentation • PXI is an Open Standard, introduced by NI in 1997 ; • PXI System Alliance formed www.pxisa.org • Now more than 60 members; • 8 PXI slots per segment 3U or 6U cards; • PXI hardware extensions are: • 10MHz clock, Star trigger, Trigger Bus 8 lines, Local Bus 13 lines • PCI device drivers by OS; • PXI compatibilities • With PCI full electrical and software; • With CompactPCI full electrical, mechanical and software; • Alternatives to PXI • PC Instruments, GPIB and VXI; Gueorgui ANTCHEV / EP-ESS EPTAB Meeting February 2003
