- Leveraging industry standards for FPGA PXI modules (01/05/2019)
  
  Today’s test engineers are choosing to incorporate user-programmable FPGA PXI modules as part of their functional test systems. There are a variety of user-programmable FPGA-based instruments available to test engineers, which can be used to support a wide range of applications & interfaces, and these instruments employ a range of programming tools & architectures.
- The role of PXI in 5G new radio RF tests (01/05/2019)
  
  5G promises faster, more reliable communications. To enable mobile broadband communications, 5G uses existing & new technologies to achieve extreme data throughputs. With limited 4G LTE spectrum, 5G new radio (NR) introduces mmWave operating bands, wider channel bandwidths & complex multi-antenna configurations that all bring new demands for test.
- Digital rail revolution to reduce overcrowding & delays (01/05/2019)
  
  Since the mid-90s, the number of passengers using Britain’s railways has doubled. At peak times, the busiest parts of the network are full. And yet, demand is still set to rise dramatically in the years ahead – with an extra one billion journeys expected by the mid-2030s.
- Maximising performance of PXI-based ATE by using cable-free mass interconnects (01/05/2019)
  
  The concept of using modular instrumentation at the heart of functional ATE systems was quickly established following the introduction of the VXI platform in 1987. Today, the PXI platform is at the heart of many new functional ATE designs.
- PXISA President's intro: Global acceptance of PXI... (01/05/2019)
  
  Greetings fellow T&M professionals! I'm Bob Stasonis, recently-elected president of the PXISA. I want to thank outgoing president, Loofie Gutterman, for his efforts in increasing acceptance of PXI over the last 15 years. I have big shoes to fill, so let’s get to work!
