**AdvancedTCA Extensions for Instrumentation and Test** (**AXIe**) is a modular instrumentation standard created by [Aeroflex](/source/Aeroflex), [Keysight Technologies](/source/Keysight),[1] and Test Evolution Corporation.[2] (In October 2008, Aeroflex had purchased a 40% shareholding in Test Evolution.[3])

AXIe was targeted for general-purpose instrumentation and semiconductor test. AXIe is based on standards from [AdvancedTCA](/source/AdvancedTCA) (ATCA), [PXI](/source/PXI), [LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation](/source/LAN_eXtensions_for_Instrumentation) (LXI), and Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI). AXIe was formally launched on November 10, 2009.[4][5]

Additional members joining the AXIe Consortium were: [Viavi Solutions](/source/Viavi_Solutions), Guzik Technical Enterprises (December 2009), [Giga-tronics](/source/Giga-tronics) (January 2010), [ADLINK](/source/ADLINK) Technology, Conduant (2019), [Elma Electronic](/source/Elma_Electronic), Samtec, Informtest, Power Value Technologies, Synopsis and Modular Methods.[6]

In October, 2017, the AXIe consortium announced a new specification, Optical Data Interface (ODI), suitable for high-speed instrumentation systems addressing challenging applications in 5G communications, mil/aero, and advanced communication research. The new standard enables a 20 GB/s (160 Gbit/s) data transfer connection between instruments and/or data recorders using multi-mode optical fibers.[7]
