Modular test instruments

13 October 2010 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies expanded its test and measurement portfolio into the modular domain with the introduction of 46 new PXI and AXIe products.

The new lineup includes digitisers, arbitrary waveform generators, digitising oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs) and a range of switches. The modules include IVI-C, IVI-COM and LabVIEW(G) software drivers and enhanced input/output (I/O) libraries. All drivers are optimised for testing applications that require high performance, high speed and high throughput.

The Agilent M9392A PXI microwave vector signal analyser (VSA) is enhanced by Agilent’s powerful and widely used 89600 VSA software. This combination enables detailed analysis of communications, radar and avionics signals up to 26,5 GHz and provides instantaneous bandwidth of 250 MHz for use in next-generation wireless systems and other applications.

The new M9018A PXIe chassis provides performance and flexibility with 16 hybrid slots. It is designed for data-intensive applications in communications, imaging and radar that require wide bandwidth from module to module or between the modules and the system controller. The first two AXIe 1.0 chassis, which are two-slot (2U) and five-slot (4U) models, deliver the advantages of AXIe, robust power, cooling and timing systems, in a platform for multivendor systems. AXIe’s large board size is ideal for high-performance instrumentation yet requires a minimum of rack space.

The Agilent U4301A PCIe Gen 3 analyser, which is a measurement module capable of working in an AXIe chassis, enables accurate multigigabit signal capture and protocol testing. The open system nature of this module enables customers to analyse wider serial buses and perform multidomain testing in digital and computing applications.
