Selecting PXI Architecture for Board (System) Functional Test
نویسنده
چکیده
Board and System test can be carried out using PXI technology that maximizes the universal nature of Virtual Instrumentation while protecting investment in capital equipment, eliminating the dedicated test equipment that is made obsolete by new product design. With an ever-increasing base of PXI equipment available to the test engineer, selection of form factor should not be made, predicated on a specific chassis, such as a 3-U or 6-U chassis. The test engineer must first evaluate which measurements must be made on his or her system, perform a thorough search of available equipment to perform these measurements or excitation of the unit under test, and from that analysis select the appropriate hardware.

PXI: A Solution For Board Functional Test?
Board functional test has of late been going through a bit of a decline, with the driving factors being cost and time to market and the progress of structural test technologies. Traditional board testers tend to be more the domain of the large volume manufacturers, while today more and more design companies are using subcontracts for PCB manufacture and test. The low volume manufacturers tend n...

The PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) architecture is relatively new as far as instrumentation standards go. However, in its short history, market acceptance has been excellent. According to estimates from Prime Data in 2002, the PXI market grew 35% in terms of sales and 55% in terms of new product introductions, when compared to 2001 figures. Granted, the market is small when compared t...
متن کاملA Control and Data Acquisition System Based on the Pxi Bus for the New Photon Beam Position Monitor Prototype
1 [email protected] Abstract Usually, in large experimental physics facilities, systems based on the VME bus, are widely used both for the lower level of the control system and for data acquisition. It is common to use this environment also for those applications that do not really need its features. The PXI bus is an industrial extension of the well-known PCI bus used in the deskto...
