VXI Series
-
The first VXIbus specification was introduced to the test and measurement community in 1987 and was initially developed to provide a card-based instrumentation platform for applications that required high density and high performance. The platform continues to thrive today by leveraging off the original specifications which define the necessary physical (real estate/cooling) and electrical standards for demanding applications and has established itself as the ‘time-tested bus you can trust’ for requirements that must be supported in excess of ten-fifteen years.

EMX-75XX
Digital I/O
The EMX-75XX Series adds to AMETEK VTI Instruments' growing PXI Express (PXIe) Core Automated Test Equipment (ATE)TM family as a high-current, high-density digital input/output line of modules. Unlike many static I/O PXIe modules on the market today, the EMX-75XX Series can sink or source up to 300 mA on each channel. Delivering beyond just 2 V and 5 V, engineers can program the cards to support a wide range of voltages and more—on every channel, for both input and output.

Platforms
-
The use of switching systems to route instrumentation and stimulus signals to appropriate test points on a unit under test has a very crucial role to play in most electronics test systems. The sharing of test resources, connection of calibration references, load management, and many other functions are all managed by the switching system, the switching system acts as the interface between the unit under test (UUT) and the test equipment.

Product
SMX Series
-
The SMX series is an extension of VTI’s award-winning EX1200 series switch family. Designed using the same core philosophy of high-density without compromising on performance, the SMX brings instrument grade switching capability to PXI Express for the first time. Our SMX switch cards encompass everything from power switching to the widest range of microwave switching in the PXI platform. Our drivers and support software provide standard operation in Windows, Linux, and LabView but add additional capability through our award winning GUI.
