NI’S PXI CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF BEING A LEADING STANDARD FOR AUTOMATED TEST
A
t this year’s NI Connect in Munich, customers will join NI to celebrate the 25th anniversary of PXI, a core technology that revolutionised test and measurement engineering. First introduced
in 1997, PXI is the leading standard for automated test and was the first product to simulate the signals necessary for solutions across many industries including Automotive, Semiconductor, Lifesciences, Energy, Aerospace, Electronics, and many others. PXI changed the test lab and production floor by combining multiple
box instruments into a form factor a fraction of the size without losing performance. Today, test engineers around the world rely on PXI to improve product quality, throughput, and efficiency of complex electronic designs. PXI’s combination of performance, an open standard, and a software-connected approach is critical to delivering increased value across industries known for constant innovation. “Celebrating PXI’s 25th
anniversary is a testament to the standard’s scalability and performance, as well as NI’s ability to constantly evolve the technology to simplify customers’ test systems,” explained Josh
Mueller, SVP and GM of NI’s Portfolio Business Unit. “Over the past 25 years, PXI has stood the test of time because it’s an open industry standard for automated testing, connecting with specialty modules from over 60 vendors. PXI enables customers to get to automation faster and become more agile. The result is better, safer, and more reliable products across a wide range of industries.” PXI continues to define purpose-built solutions for key industries.
ADAS, EV and Next-Generation Wireless customers are modernising their test labs and standards to stay at pace with the ever-evolving challenges they are facing.

aerospace industry is seeking to find more environmentally-friendly ways to operate. Lilium, a leader in aircraft design and manufacturing, are aiming to make the ‘green dream’ of electric flight a reality with their Lilium Jet. The technology at the core of the Lilium Jet is Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT). As an alternative to traditional jet engines which power 95 per cent of commercial aircraft, Lilium’s electric jet engines rely on a single ‘stage’ rotor/stator system driven by an electric motor to create propulsion. Integrated into the wing flaps, the electric jet engines are aerodynamically efficient, lighter, quieter and provide thrust which can be directed to manoeuvre the aircraft. It is hoped aircraft powered by sustainable electricity will significantly reduce emissions, helping the world reach its Net Zero goals.

ith the recent increase in importance placed on sustainability, the
CHELL HELPS GERMAN COMPANY TRAILBLAZE ELECTRIC JET AIRCRAFT
Chell Instruments is part of this
mission, supplying technology to aid Lilium’s ground-breaking engineering, including their nanoDAQ-LTS. Chell’s nanoDAQ-LTS is used
by Lilium to measure air pressures on the electric aircraft during development. The nanoDAQ-LTS uses the latest technology which is able to withstand extremes of pressure, heat and vibration for use in wind tunnels and during in-flight tests. “We’re delighted to be working with such an exciting company, helping them trailblaze the search for sustainable electric jet propulsion. Our technology remains at the
forefront of traditional jet turbine development, so it’s fantastic we can also contribute to sustainable air travel” said Jamie Shanahan, sales director at Chell Instruments. The nanoDAQ-LTS has proven
a critical instrument in the development of the Lilium Jet, sensing tiny changes in pressure with industry-leading levels of accuracy. The data is fed back
to engineers through Ethernet and CAN outputs. Chell Instruments is an industry- leading manufacturer and supplier of pressure, vacuum and gas flow measurement and control solutions. The company works with a range of thriving industries, from Formula 1 to aerospace and defence.
