However, the NI PCI platform is suited for a variety of applications and industries, most notably for applications in the aerospace and defense industry. These applications include ATE systems and software, electromechanical systems test, embedded software test, communications, and navigation systems test, and radar, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although some PCI products have become obsolete and other PCI products are on their way to obsolescence, these parts may still be the answer to your test equipment needs. After all, advanced applications require reliable products. If you\u2019re looking for a more cost-effective alternative to the PCI Express platform, then PCI is a perfect choice. Not only will you save money by choosing older parts for your test system, but you will also not be able to purchase these parts from National Instruments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apex Waves<\/strong>\u00a0stocks many types of obsolete\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apexwaves.com\/modular-systems\/national-instruments\"><strong>National Instruments PCI products<\/strong><\/a>.
