What is AXIe?

An open system modular instrumentation standard based on AdvancedTCA®, that delivers high performance
instrumentation for aerospace defense, high energy physics, semiconductor test and other industries.
 

What advantages does it bring?  

      • “Big brother to PXI.”  Same PCIe fabric and programming, but with ...

        • Horizontal configurations for minimal rack space, vertical for large systems

        • Larger boards for highest rack and power densities per rack inch

        • High speed trigger, timing, and local bus

        • Semiconductor test extensions

        • ATCA compatibility

        • Optional LAN fabric

        • Integrates easily with PXI, LXI and IVI 
What is ODI?

ODI is the abbreviation for Optical Data Interface, a new high-speed interface standard for advanced instrumentation and embedded systems. ODI breaks speed and distance barriers by relying on optical communication between devices, over a simple pluggable optical cable.

With speeds up to 80 GBytes/s, ODI is designed to address challenging applications in 5G communications, mil/aero systems, high-speed data acquisition, and communication research. Though managed by the AXIe Consortium, ODI is not specific to AXIe, and works equally well with any product format, whether AXIe, PXI, LXI, VPX, or a traditional bench instrument design. Standard ODI ports enable communication between instruments, processors, storage, and embedded devices.

More information, including overviews and specifications, are available on the ODI Specifications page.
