PXI Instrument bundles are preconfigured sets of NI’s most popular, high-quality electronic test and instrumentation hardware.
These bundles help new customers get started in the following ways:
- Simple shopping experience, with a Thunderbolt™-controlled chassis, a PXI instrument module, and relevant accessories included
- Options for adding more channels or other instrument types with additional modules
- Compatible with InstrumentStudio™ software, LabVIEW, Python, C, .NET, and more
| Simplify Your Benchtop | Go Beyond Predefined Functionality |
|---|---|
| Different instruments can be added to the empty slots in the chassis, increasing functionality without taking up extra space. With more than 600 different PXI modules ranging from DC to mmWave, your PXI system can adapt as your needs evolve. | Unlike box instruments that have functionality predefined, PXI instruments allow engineers to configure software-defined measurements and analysis in real time. Data is analyzed as it is acquired. |
| Achieve High Performance | Choose Your Software |
|---|---|
| PXI instrument bundles offer high-performance, mixed-measurement systems for validation and production test. They meet requirements for timing, synchronization, and throughput across all instruments. | Users can choose any software. They can use InstrumentStudio software, a free no-code software, to interact with instruments; or they can programmatically control and automate with APIs for LabVIEW, Python, and other languages. |
