Data Acquisition & Modular Instruments

PXI and PXIe platforms, CompactDAQ, CompactRIO, switch systems and multi-channel data loggers.

Brands in this category: Keithley, National Instruments

This category covers modular instrumentation platforms — PXI and PXIe, CompactDAQ, CompactRIO and switch systems — where the value is in matched, working combinations rather than individual modules.

Buy systems, not parts

A PXIe chassis without a controller is not usable, and a controller without a compatible chassis is worse. Module compatibility, backplane generation and slot bandwidth all have to line up, and a mismatch is discovered late.

We quote matched sets wherever possible: chassis, controller and modules confirmed to enumerate together before despatch.

Software is part of the purchase

NI hardware depends on LabVIEW and the corresponding driver stack, and driver versions have real hardware compatibility limits. Older modules are sometimes unsupported by current drivers, and newer modules will not run on old ones.

Tell us your LabVIEW and driver version and we will confirm compatibility before you commit.

Common questions

Do NI modules come with licences?

Hardware drivers are free; LabVIEW itself is licensed separately and does not transfer with hardware.

Is PXI still supported?

Yes. PXI remains in active production and legacy modules retain strong support, which is why used demand is steady.

Can I mix PXI and PXIe modules?

In a hybrid chassis, yes. Confirm the specific chassis has hybrid slots and that your modules match.
