PXI, PCI products lined up for Farnborough show

It supports one or two 3U PXI modules and accepts the majority of Pickering’s PXI products.

The USB compatible and LXI compliant interfaces enable the chassis to be controlled directly through standard interfaces found on most personal computers—allowing for a very cost effective route into the modular test and measurement market.

Also on parade is the Millivolt Thermocouple PXI Simulator Module(model 41-760). This is a low-voltage source module ideal for simulating the operation of a thermocouple.

The module supports up to 32 channels from a single-slot 3U PXI module, each with an independent output of -100mV to +100mV and a remote sense that allows for the correction of ground voltages on each channel.

Switch Path Manager Signal Routing Software simplifies signal routing through switching systems and speeds up the development of switching system software. Switch Path Manager supports Pickering's PXI, LXI, PCI and GPIB switching modules and the interconnection between these products.

Cable Design Tool is a graphics-based online tool lets users define a cable assembly to exactly meet requirements.

The tool allows very detailed design characteristics including - selection of connector types, wire type, pin definitions, pin and cable labelling, cable bundling, length selection, sleeving and comments.

Features include a built-in library of standard cable sets or design from scratch, the ability to store designs in the Cloud and develop them over time and you can create your own library and share with colleagues.

Also highlighted in the booth will be Pickering Interfaces’ eBirst Switching Syste Test Tools. These tools, designed specifically for Pickering’s PXI, PCI, or LXI (Ethernet) products, simplify switching system faultfinding by quickly testing the system and graphically identifying the faulty relays.

The Southern Manufacturing & Electronics takes place at FIVE, Farnborough UK (March 23-25)
