Understanding PXI and PXIe?
PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) and PXIe (PXI Express) are modular platforms widely used in test and measurement applications.
- PXI: Introduced in 1997, PXI is based on the PCI bus architecture, offering data transfer rates up to 132 MB/s per slot. It’s suitable for various applications but may not meet the demands of high-bandwidth tasks.
- PXIe: Building upon the PCI Express standard, PXIe provides significantly higher data transfer rates, with some configurations reaching up to 24 GB/s per slot. This makes it ideal for applications requiring rapid data throughput and precise synchronization.
Key Differences Between PXI & PXIe
- Bus Architecture: PXI utilizes a parallel PCI bus, while PXIe employs a high-speed serial PCIe bus, resulting in faster data transfers and improved performance.
- Data Transfer Rates: PXI systems offer up to 132 MB/s per slot, whereas PXIe systems can deliver up to 24 GB/s per slot, accommodating more data-intensive applications.
- Compatibility: PXIe chassis often feature hybrid slots that support both PXI and PXIe modules, providing flexibility for integrating existing PXI modules into newer PXIe systems.
