PXI Architecture
PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is based on and offers all of the benefits of the PCI architecture including performance, industry adoption and COTS technology. PXI has a rugged CompactPCI mechanical form-factor, integrated timing and synchronization that is used to route synchronization clocks, and triggers internally. PXI modules fit into a multi-slot chassis and are configured and managed by a laptop PC and software.
