The family of PXI instrumentation supporting extended boundary Scan Test strategies includes digital I/O modules, a mixed Signal I/O module and several power modules.

The family of digital I/O modules includes the PXI 5296 with 96 channels and the PXI 52196 with 192 channels. I/O channels are individually programmable as input, output, bi-directional or tri-state. The 32 channel groups are  voltage-programmable between 1.8 and 5VDC. Each channel features a special protection circuitry to avoid interface damages due to high fault currents, and allows hot-swap capability. A differential I/O module PXI 5384 with 48 programmable channels is available.

The mixed signal I/O module PXI 5702 has two channels with 12-bit resolution for the generation or measurement of voltages. Can also be used as digital pin driver.

The PXI 5120x series of power modules includes five different models (3VDC, 5VDC, 12VDC, 24VDC and 48VDC). All have two separate channels with 50W output power each, and are voltage and current programmable.  Feature galvanic isolation, load rejection relays, U/I read back and programmable current. Have an integrated U/I recorder per channel, synchronously operating to the BScan TCK clock.

The new suite supports the PXI trigger bus and, can be synchronized to the boundary scan test procedure.
