By understanding the key issues at every phase of the product lifecycle, engineers can make decisions that result in flexible, reliable, and scalable test systems. Taking a modular approach to test system development can accelerate development and mitigate risk throughout the entire product lifecycle. When it comes to designing and building automated test systems, today’s […]

PXI 18-slot chassis offers double the PXISA cooling spec/slot, more backplane power
The model 42-926-001 18-slot PXIe chassis offers Gen2 performance, is higher spec’d than competing models, with double the PXISA cooling spec per slot and more power to the backplane, and is available on shorter lead-times at a lower cost. The model 42-926 high-performance PXIe chassis provides one PXIe system slot, one PXIe timing slot and […]
PXI/PXIe multiplexer module optimized for MIL-STD-1553 testing
A new PXI/PXIe multiplexer module is optimized for MIL-STD-1553 testing applications. With a differential bandwidth of 450 MHz—far exceeding the requirements of MIL-STD-1553—the model 40/42-739 is available in single or dual 4:1, 8:1 or 16:1 differential configurations. Using telecommunications-grade electromechanical relays, the 40/42-739 multiplexer has a minimal initial signal path resistance of less than 450 […]
General-purpose PXI matrix features 70-MHz bandwidth, high switching capacity
Available in 16×8, two-pole, or high-density 32×8, two-pole switching configurations, PXI matrix modules offer bandwidths ranging from 35 MHz to 70 MHz depending upon path selected and a VSWR less than 1.5:1 to 85 MHz. The modules are in two-slot PXI (model 40-588) or PXIe (model 42-588) formats and are constructed using telecommunication-grade electromechanical relays […]
PXI switching modules handle heavy ac and dc loads
A new high-power relay PXI module provides the industry’s highest switching capacity in the smallest footprint for a solution based on electromechanical relays. Occupying a compact single PXI slot form factor, the model 40-166 is available with SPST, SPDT or SP4T switching configurations. It uses power relays suitable for switching loads up to 20 A […]
PXI matrix switch module hosts up to 9,216 crosspoints
The 1-A 40-562B BRIC12 PXI modules can hold up to 18 matrix daughtercards with up to 3,168 crosspoints. The 0.5-A 40-558 BRIC12 modules can also hold up to 18 matrix daughtercards, offering up to 9,216 crosspoints, making it the industry’s highest capacity PXI matrix switch module. Like previously available two, four and eight-slot versions, the […]
2.5W, 5W and 10W programmable resistor modules targeting ECU testing
Pickering Interfaces launched a new family of 110 high-accuracy programmable resistor modules with 2.5W, 5W or 10W power handling capability at 100V or as limited by power. Models 40-251/2/3 target applications that require accurate medium-power programmable resistance such as a programmable load for the testing of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and fuel level sensing. These ECUs are […]
