PC-Based Bus Platform
PXI 3U
PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a PC-based bus platform for measurement and automation systems. PXI uses commercial PC-based PCI bus technology while combining rugged CompactPCI modular packaging, as well as key timing and synchronization features. While derived from cPCI, PXI adds the timing and synchronization features, among other things, that were not present in cPCI.
