In May, the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA) held its fifth technology conference in China to help foster the adoption of PXI in the growing industrial giant. New initiatives this year included an entire track on module creation and the first PXISA general meeting held in China. "Next-generation test systems such as PXI are very popular in China," said PXISA marketing co-chair Matthew Friedman, "and the growth in China has been amazing." This year's conference achieved record attendance levels, with more than 550 engineers and vendors participating. Friedman explained that one of the most popular venues was the new technical track on module development. "It was standing room only for the entire track," he said. The addition of the developer's track reflects growing interest within China to develop PXI modules both for internal use and for outside sales. "In past years, the event focused on the use of PXI," said Friedman, "but now people there are looking at development. They love the idea of creating their own modules to meet their unique test needs."
