(In October 2008, Aeroflex had purchased a 40% shareholding in Test Evolution.{{Cite web |author= Aeroflex, Inc. |title= Annual Report (Form 10K) |date= June 2009 |url= https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2601/000114420409046933/v159572_10k.htm |accessdate= May 27, 2013 |publisher= US Securities and Exchange Commission }})

AXIe was targeted for general-purpose instrumentation and semiconductor test. AXIe is based on standards from AdvancedTCA (ATCA), PXI, LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI), and Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI). AXIe was formally launched on November 10, 2009.{{Cite news |title= Aeroflex, Agilent Technologies, and Test Evolution Propose New AXIe Test Standard |work= News release |date= November 10, 2009 |url= http://www.axiestandard.org/images/Aeroflex_Agilent_and_Test_Evolution_Propose_New_AXIe_Test_Standard_091110a.pdf |accessdate= May 27, 2013 }}{{Cite news |title= Three companies form AXIe test standard consortium |author= Bill Schweber |work= EE Times |date= November 10, 2009 |url= http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4085819/Three-companies-form-AXIe-test-standard-consortium |accessdate= May 27, 2013 }}

Additional members joining the AXIe Consortium were: Viavi Solutions, Guzik Technical Enterprises (December 2009), Giga-tronics (January 2010), ADLINK Technology, Conduant (2019), Elma Electronic, Samtec, Informtest, Power Value Technologies, Synopsis and Modular Methods.{{Cite web|title=AXIe Consortium|url=http://www.axiestandard.org/members.html|last=|first=|date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=May 11, 2020}}

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.{{Cite web|title=AXIe Consortium and Multiple Companies Announce Optical Communication Standard for Instrumentation Systems|url=http://axiestandard.org/files/ODI/AXIe%20Consortium%20and%20Multiple%20Companies%20Announce%20Optical%20Communication%20Standard%20for%20Instrumentation%20Systems%20.pdf|last=|first=|date=May 11, 2020|website=AXIe Consortium|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}
