Pickering Interfaces manufactures the World's largest range of PXI switch cards. We cover all types of switching from DC to Microwave, and from Telecoms to Optical.

Our high density matrix modules offer up to 4400 crosspoints per 3U module, much greater capacity than larger VXI / SCXI based systems.

Pickering's PXI cards will plug into any PXI chassis and are supplied with comprehensive software drivers for all 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, LabWindows / CVI and LabView. The Pickering IVI drivers also fully support National Instruments switch executive.

All of the modules listed here may also be used in our Ethernet controlled 7-slot or 18-slot LXI Modular Switching chassis.
