Modular Instrumentation for Mainstream Users Filling the Gap VXI Price Desktop PC Performance
PXI Starts with CompactPCI CompactPCI puts PC technology in a small, rugged package by combining three standards: PCI bus Eurocardpackaging Better IEC Connectors CompactPCI
Why use the PCI bus? • Wide Industry Support • Plug and Play capability • Thousands of software products • 32-bit data transfers at 33 MHz (132 Mbytes/sec) • PCI is a de facto standard
Why use Different Connectors? Higher Pin Count Rugged and Reliable Integrated Shield Impedance Matched Most Importantly:MORE SLOTS! J2 J1
Why use Eurocard Packaging? • Proven over decades of use in industrial applications (VME, VXI, etc.) • Defined by IEEE 1101 Standard • Readily available mechanical components • Excellent thermal properties • Modular, rugged, and compact

PCI PXI Combines Standard Technologies CompactPCI
The Open PXI System Specification The PXI system specification extends CompactPCI for Instrumentation. S Specification Revision 1.0 August 20, 1997 Software Mechanical Electrical
Mechanical Extensions PXI improves reliability and interoperability with: • Mandatory Active Cooling • Temperature Testing and Ratings • System-level environmental specificationsfor EMC, shock, vibration, and humidity • Defined embedded controller location
64-bit PCI and J2 3U PXI Features PXI/CPCI J1 32-bit PCI PXI Reserved J5 PXI Reserved J4 6U PXI Reserved J3 PXI/CPCI 64-bit PCI and J2 PXI Features J1 32-bit PCI PXI/CompactPCI Form Factors All 3U cards work in 6U systems 6U Adapter Panel
Software Extensions PXI speeds application development because: PXI Controllers MUST support a standard software framework by including a pre-loaded OS: Windows NT Windows 9x Peripherals modules MUST be supplied with a WIN32 Device Driver
PXI and PC Software is Identical Operating systems and application software run unchanged on PXI systems Configuration tools recognize PXI modules as PCI devices “We ported from a desktop PC to PXI without changing any code" - Len Burczyk, Los Alamos National Laboratories

Configuring Your PXI System 1. Choose your OS and application development software 2. Select your PXI chassis 3. Select a remote or embedded controller 4. Select your PXI modules 5. Select your accessories
Step 1. Choose Your Software • Select a standard operating system • Windows NT • Windows 9x • Select a standard application programming interface • Graphical Programming: LabVIEW • Text-based Programming: Measurement Studio • Real-time program development: LabVIEW RT
Step 2. Select your chassis Choose enough slots to allow room to grow 4 or 8 slot chassis Use MXI-3 for multichassis configurations Consider application requirements Portable or Embedded Bench top or Rack mount Integrated Signal Conditioning (SCXI) Combination chassis with PXI+SCXI
PXI/CompactPCI Flexible Installation Options • For applications in: • Test and Measurement • Data Acquisition • Industrial Automation
Step 3. Select Your Control Scheme Embedded controllers Most compact solution Modular = easy maintenance Pentium and Pentium III Class Remote MXI-3 controllers Short or long distance Fully transparent Low cost
PCI-to-PCI Bridge Multisystem Extension InterfaceMXI-3 Architecture PCI CompactPCI Secondary 1.5 GHz SerialI/F MXI-3 SerialI/F MXI-3 PCI 1 High Speed Serial Link Primary PCI 0 Still Software Transparent!
MXI-3 Configurations PCI to PXI/CompactPCI PXI/CompactPCI to PXI/CompactPCI Cabling:- Copper (up to 10 m)- Fiber Optic (up to 200 m)
MXI-3 Demonstration Device Manager & MAX see PXI I/O modules w/o extra software Configuration tools work as if modules are plugged into the PC With a 640x480 Window, MXI-3 transfers image data at the maximum camera speed of >30 fps The 1.5 Gbit/s MXI-3 link can sustain data transfers at over 80 Mbytes/s - PXI Chassis - PXI MXI-3 Interface - PXI IMAQ Module - Video Camera - Other I/O Modules - Standard PC - PCI MXI-3 Module
MXI-3 Benefits • More slots for PCs and PXI/CompactPCI • Very high performance serial link • Easy to integrate — software transparent • Short and L O N G distances • Low cost
Step 4. Select Your I/O Modules Choose from over 50 NI Modules INSTRUMENTS: Oscilloscopes Digital Multimeters Arbitrary Waveform Generator Temperature Meter Switch Multiplexers Serial Data Analyzers MXI-2 Kits for VXI/VME DATA ACQ. & CONTROL RT Series Multifunction I/O Digital I/O Analog Output Image Acquisition Motion Control Counter/Timers INTERFACES: GPIB SCSI+Enet PCMCIA CAN + DeviceNET RS-232 RS-485
PXI Modules Link to Other Standards MXI-3 Stand-alone Instrument PXI System VXI or VME MXI GPIB CompactPCI Modules Modules
Third-party Modules Use online directories www.ni.com/pxi www.pxisa.org www.picmg.org Look for PXI module compliance data Environmental specifications Regulatory specifications Driver software support
Step 5. Select Your Accessories Connectivity scheme Cabling Terminal blocks Direct front panel connection 3rd Party Receivers Signal Conditioning Chassis-based: SCXI External Mounting kits
Summary PXI is a complete system specification that extends CompactPCI for Measurement and Automation PXI and CompactPCI are open specifications supported by numerous vendors Hundreds of products are available today for configuring PXI/CompactPCI systems
