What are the advantages of SCXI?

National Instruments developed SCXI signal conditioning products to match the technology, performance, and versatility of our PC-based E Series DAQ hardware. This integrated design simplifies system deployment during installation and configuration and maximizes performances benefits.

The power behind SCXI signal conditioning is your ability to create custom measurement solutions to solve your particular application. You can configure a system with just a few channels of I/O or thousands of channels. SCXI offers modules for taking measurements from a wide variety of sensor and signal types, and it is designed so you can easily mix different signal types in one system.

We have created some common configurations for applications such as temperature, sound and vibration, and strain/force/load measurement. You can modify any of these systems to include other signal conditioning technologies to further customize your system. All systems are available in desktop, portable, rack mount, and single-unit configurations; you can expand them by adding additional SCXI chassis.

• Our SCXI solutions provide configurations to perform a wide variety of measurements from sound and vibration measurements to RF switching.
• NI offers numerous data loggers using SCXI. These data logging solutions include recommended configuration and alternatives, but you can easily change the configurations to customize your own solution.
