PXI 1033

Friends,

Can anyone explain me difference between a DAQ card and a PXI controller unit. I know what is a DAQ and have been working on one but one of our new instruments came with a PXI-1033 unit and DAQ . I just want to understand what is the difference and need for it. Also suppose I need a multichannel DAQ like 6353 ,can that job be performed using a PXI and accompanyying DAQ. 

Thank you

PXI is PCI eXtension for Instrumentation.  So the PXI chassis is a way of adding instruments and DAQs to a PC.

NI has many DAQs using PCI(e), USB, and PXI(e).  Just use the shop page to find one that fits your needs.

This means that a PXI is needed when you employ multiple DAQ's and it acts as a hub. Right?

It is more than that, but close enough.

What is PXI
