How To Choose A PXI/e Chassis

Choosing the right PXI or PXIe chassis is one of the most important decisions when building a test system. In this video, we break down the key chassis specs that actually matter, including slot count, PXI vs PXIe compatibility, hybrid slots, bandwidth, cooling capacity, power requirements, timing and synchronization, controller options, and future expansion. Whether you’re building a new PXI Express system or maintaining an older validated PXI setup, understanding these features can help you avoid compatibility issues, prevent performance bottlenecks, and choose a chassis that supports your application long-term. We also re-introduce the Apex Waves PXI Configurator, a tool designed to make system planning easier by helping you explore compatible chassis, controllers, modules, accessories, and more—including both newer hardware and legacy or obsolete NI modules. 🔧 Try the PXI Configurator today to start building a PXI system that fits your needs: https://www.apexwaves.com/system-buil... ----------------------------------------------------- Legacy NI modules are in stock at Apex Waves, call or email for a quote [email protected] | 1-800-915-6216 ----------------------------------------------------- Follow or Like us on Social Media   / apexwavesllc     / apexwaves     / apexwavesllc     / apex-waves     / apexwaves     / apexwavesllc   ------------------------------------------------------ #PXI #PXIe #PXIChassis #TestEquipment #NIHardware #Engineering #ApexWaves #AutomatedTest #DataAcquisition
