PXI instruments for defense/aerospace come with test program set compatibility

AUSTIN. Astronics Test Systems, Inc. and National Instruments collaborative effort has enabled the release of the Astronics PXIe-6943 Digital Test Instrument, Astronics PXIe-3352 Rubidium Clock Source and Astronics PXIe-1209 Pulse Pattern Generator, as well as the previously announced Astronics PXIe-2461 Frequency Time Interval Counter. The intent of the collaboration is to provide PXI-based instruments with test program set-(TPS-) compatible software for existing VXI instruments.

“Digital subsystems continue to play a crucial role in most aerospace and defense test platforms,” says Brian Price, executive vice president and general manager at ATS. Engineers can expand to support military/ aerospace requirements and maintain their original TPS investments, he adds. The digital system includes parallel digital, serial, and bus protocols.

Engineers designed the -2 to 7 V, 200 MB/s Astronics PXIe-6943 Digital Test Instrument after the VXI-based Astronics T940 Digital Resource Modules, which enable pattern-based digital test in commercial and government programs. The Astronics PXIe-3352 Rubidium Clock Source combines a rubidium oscillator with a GPS receiver into a single instrument. The Astronics PXIe-1209 Pulse Pattern Generator is a high-performance, 2-channel, 100 MHz pulse generator that delivers dual independent pulse generation with high-resolution.
