PXI’s integrated timing and hardware triggering
capabilities allow the user to synchronize a varietyof instruments through the trigger bus and systemreference clock features of the PXI platform. This
offers a number of advantages over more traditional
software-initiated measurements.
z True parallel measurements of multiple devices under test allows you to scale your manufacturing and decrease
the test time per DUT.
z Extremely low latency allows you to capture fast events or measure your DUTs very quickly.
z Precise timing alignment between optical and electrical modules gives you control of trigger events to occur exactly
when required.

Each slot can create a trigger and the trigger event can be transferred through each PXI Trigger line. Configuring thetrigger line can be done easily through NI MAX software interface for the PXIe mainframe.
