PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is an industrial standard platform derived from Compact PCI. PXI extends the traditional compact PCI platform BUS used in standard PCs to one suitable for industrial PCs with high temperature and shaking durability. Besides featuring modularized instrumentation, open architecture and hot-swap functions, PXI is also equipped with high-speed network transmission, built-in counter and simultaneous triggered data transmission interface.

The test instruments and systems implemented with these features can be integrated to PXI test systems easily due to compatible software and hardware technology. Replacing a traditional system with modularized cards and chassis greatly reduces required space and allows for more diversified measurement functions. The flexible structure and high performance/low cost advantages are even more beneficial for electronic products with short life cycles.

PXI systems have been successfully and extensively applied to testing in the automotive testing, semiconductor testing, aviation and military applications.
