As a test engineer, where do you go when your manager asks you to develop a complex control system for manufacturing and testing ground-breaking medical devices? How about an automated solution for testing electric-vehicle battery-management systems? And of course it has to be completed in a short time frame and needs to be low cost.
Such a system is not trivial; it usually must be custom designed and requires the developer to have extensive knowledge of new technologies and the ability to integrate a diverse set of instrumentation including RF communications, source-measurement units, switch matrices, and FPGAs for onboard processing.

System integrators have experience working with the latest instrumentation and are equipped with the knowledge to take on the challenges of developing advanced systems for a wide range of industries including alternative energy, medical, and defense. As PXI modular instrumentation continues to expand and increase in performance, leading integrators have adopted the PXI platform, making it the preferred architecture for system development.
PXI has many advantages, such as system expandability, a small form factor, a wide range of instrumentation and vendors, integrated timing and synchronization, and mass data transfer. These key features contribute to the continuing success of the PXI platform and give integrators the tools needed to develop high-performance customized solutions that meet strict requirements.
There are many benefits to engaging an integrator familiar with PXI. Integrators who take advantage of PXI’s inherent modularity and virtual instrumentation usually have a library of reusable software and hardware components that they can use to decrease overall development time. With their extensive knowledge of PXI, integrators can develop systems for use throughout the life cycle of a product, from R&D, to automated manufacturing facilities, to field applications. Leveraging the PXI platform’s hardware flexibility and software-defined instrumentation allows integrators to deliver innovative, high-quality, and reliable systems in a shorter period of time and at lower costs.
