Tips for building PXI systems

摘要

Developing a PXI-based measurement system can be as simple as plugging PXI modules into a chassis and writing a basic application program to control the instruments. You can build a more advanced system by adding test-management software and by adding stand-alone instruments to form a hybrid system. To help engineers understand the potential of PXI, N. D. "Buck" Smith, principal engineer at Cal-Bay Systems, presented these system-integration guidelines during the PXI Technology and Application Conference (PXI TAC) that toured North America this past spring.
