Dear Epaschalis
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you but I was out of town!
The PCI M Series card is our new line of PCI Multifunction DAQ cards featuring the latest technology and the best features in the market. The question of whether the PCI M Series card is better or the PXI is something of an application based answer.
If you are developing your application on a PC and do not want extended timing and triggering capabilities and if you will only be doing simple Data Acquisition and would not need an ARB or Waveform generators then I would suggest going for the M Series boards because these are affordable and provide you with good timing and triggering and can do very good Analog/Digital/Counter I/O. However, if you need to do advanced triggering and if you need to add more modules, then I would suggest getting a PXI system. Another key component of a PXI system is that it is rugged.
If you need to perform advanced Reconfigurable I/O wherein you can define your own triggering and control parameters, then I would suggest going for CompactRIO which is simply fantastic for the capabilities and ruggedness it provides. To get information on CompactRIO, you can go here.
Any of these choices will depend on the application you are trying to solve/implement. I hope this answers your question to certain depth.
About the sales question that you had, we have an office in Italy which takes care of the Greece segment as well. They are the one who will be able to provide you the necessary pricing. I would suggest contacting them.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks and Regards
