Preview a Complete System
View and price a complete PXI configuration including the NI PXI-GPIB, chassis, and controller. Starting from the default configuration, you can add modules, accessories, and software and customize your system.

View and Price a Configured System
You need a cable to transmit communication signals between devices.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
