Talk:PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation

Article needs context
This article needs context. I found it while fixing links to disambiguation page Pickering, can anyone help? CarolGray 10:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing Pickering. Please could you add a simple explanatory sentence at the beginning? for people like me who know nothing about this subject. Thank you. CarolGray 06:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

LXI Marketing
The only reference for the LXI Standard is a press release put out by the consortium responsible for marketing LXI. Furthermore, it only states the sales of LXI equipped instruments and not if they are being used in an LXI configuration. Many of these instruments also include GPIB and USB ports as well as many are not connected to the PC at all. Recommend that this comparison be removed unless more supporting information can be found. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.15.253 (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Copy/Paste?
This article reads like it was copied from elsewhere, in particular the section on PXIe makes reference to attachments detailing the backplane, which don't exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.31.17 (talk) 20:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Scrap everything but the history
This article reads like an advertisement for PXI, but it contains little actual information about the standard. Apparently PXI is a set of extensions to PCI. What extensions? What voltage levels does it use? Is it a serial or parallel protocol? What data rates is it capable of? Does it provide any advantages over PCI and PCI express, or is PXI just an attempt at market segmentation? See the article about PCI express for an example of what an article about a board-level bus standard should look like. This article needs to be rewritten by someone with experience designing products that use the PXI interface, preferably not under the direction of their employer.209.189.245.112 (talk) 09:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Compatibility with CompactPCI
The article describes PXI as using the CompactPCI form factor. But the article does not specifically mention if the two are in any way compatible. CompactPCI has two connectors, one that handles the PCI bus and the other is dual purpose. The dual purpose connector carries either the 64 bit PCI bus extensions or a general purpose user defined interface.

Is PXI based on CompactPCI utilizing the second connector for a special purpose bus? Or are the two completely incompatible with one another? Can CompactPCI cards be used in a PXI chassis or vice versa? 24.186.141.163 (talk) 20:58, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
