Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced that its application for a seat on the board of directors was enthusiastically accepted by the PXI Systems Alliance Board at its annual meeting on Sept. 15.
Following the recent announcement of 46 new PXI and AXIe modular products, Agilent applied for sponsor-level membership -- the highest level of membership within the PXI Systems Alliance.

The primary goal of the PXISA is to improve the effectiveness of CompactPCI-based solutions in measurement and automation through use of the PXI specification. Agilent joins seven other sponsor-level member companies on the board of directors. The PXI Systems Alliance currently has 58 members. To receive sponsor-level membership, companies are required to endorse and actively support the PXI architecture as a vital part of their ongoing business. They also must take a proactive role in all decisions made at the board level.
