The invention relates to the technical field of aviation airborne tests, and provides a recorder general test device based on a PXI bus. According to the device, defects of large size, high cost, test resource waste, equipment non-integration and non-purpose of a conventional flight parameter test device based on VXI are solved for the test of a recorder. According to the device, by employing the PXI technology, a controller, a display, an input device, and recorder general signal source boards are integrated in an PXI cabinet; by installing test software, the PXI controller is driven, signal source modules and a simulation collector are controlled, and flight data and audio and video data are sent to the recorder; and after completion of record, the data is downloaded and compared with original sent or uploaded data, and whether data results are consistent is determined. According to the recorder general test device, the size is small, the weight is low, various intelligent modules are integrated, functions are complete, and the test device is applicable to test requirements of protection recorders, cache recorders, and waterborne floating recorders.
