Architecting high-throughput PXI systems
David Nosbusch · 2012
With the PC industry evolving from PCI to PCI Express in late 2005, the PXI industry was able to take advantage of this increase in available bus bandwidth and subsequently introduced the PXI Express specification. The PCI Express bus continues to evolve, while maintaining backwards compatibility, with the release of PCI Express 2.0 in 2010, and the PXI Express platform performance follows. These advancements enable PXI to meet the requirements of test and measurement applications that demand high data throughput capabilities. At the same time, they can problematically add a level of complexity to system architectures that require these increased bus capacities.
