As electronics become more and more complex, there’s a growing need for precise testing at every stage of design and development. In recent years, the market for specialized Test and Measurement equipment has expanded in response to that complexity.

Since their introduction, PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI), and more recently, PXI Express (PXIe) have become the test platforms of choice across a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond. By nature, PXIe is designed to support as many applications as possible with off-the-shelf components.

That said, Test & Measurement is not a one-size-fits-all industry. In a world with more specialized electronics, Test & Measurement companies with very specific design requirements have a harder time extracting the standards-based benefits of PXI and PXIe.

In this whitepaper, we will address the following questions:

• How did PXIe come to be?
• What kind of chassis designs and customizations can customers expect from nVent SCHROFF?
• How does nVent SCHROFF use specially designed building blocks to achieve specific system requirements?
  

The nVent SCHROFF RatiopacPRo Extended with modular design elements is ideal for desktop enclosure applications  such as mobile test equipment, or medical control units. The design case provides you with the option of quick and  easy individualization while staying within the proven modular nVent SCHROFF RatiopacPRo and RatiopacPro Air platform.
