Intellitech introduced its Mercury Remote Diagnostic Manager (MRDM) for production or burn-in test. The software increases tester throughput by enabling the company’s PT100 and PT100Pro testers to perform back-to-back testing without the need to stop to perform diagnostics on failing UUTs (units under test).

Phase Matrix officially introduced its family of PXI RF/microwave downconverter modules. The company announced at Autotestcon 2006 that it was working on the downconverter development project with BAE Systems and National Instruments. The module family consists of five PXI (3U) modules that can be configured into any one of six primary configurations operating over the frequency range of 100 kHz to 2.9 GHz, 2.7 GHz to 26.5 GHz, and 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz. The modules include an RF input conditioner module, a microwave- band input module, a low-band input module, a local oscillator module, and an IF output conditioner module.
Also announcing an official debut of a product was Huntron, which in conjunction with Test Evolution (TEV) demonstrated an automated near-field signature-analysis system that combines the Huntron Access robotic probing station, Huntron workstation software, and TEV’s noncontact RF near-field probe technology. Huntron demonstrated the capability in conjunction with Metrikos (which was subsequently acquired by TEV) at Autotestcon 2007.

Geotest—Marvin Test Systems highlighted release 7 of its ATEasy test-development software and test executive. ATEasy 7.0 features several enhancements to the test-development, run-time, and test-executive environments, including the ability to create libraries for use with external languages or by ATEasy drivers, enhanced debugging tools for the development of multithreaded test applications, and test-executive support for external test-executable programs.
Adlink Technology introduced a RoHS-compliant 3U 19-slot PXI chassis, the PXIS-2719, which provides one system controller slot, 18 peripheral card slots, a high-performance cooling design, and smart chassis management. This rack-mount-capable chassis can serve in high-capacity bench and rack-mount test-and-measurement applications.
Global Test Solutions (GTS) highlighted the line-up of instrument makers it represents, including Bustec, which designs and manufactures a line of VXI products. GTS said Toellner Electronic Instruments had signed an exclusive US distribution agreement under which GTS will distribute all of Toellner’s instrumentation products in the US, including programmable DC power supplies, amplifiers, and waveform generators. GTS also announced it has signed a US distribution agreement with Satori Technology, which develops USB-based RF sensors. Also, a representative of Aster Technologies was on hand at the GTS booth to describe Aster’s board-level testability analysis tools.
Also at Autotestcon 2008, Averna demonstrated its Universal Receiver Tester, which supports in-vehicle recording and playback to enable receiver test. Seica promoted the reverse-engineering capabilities of its Pilot line of flying probers. Bird Technologies highlighted new power-meter options for its SignalHawk portable spectrum analyzers. GaGe exhibited its new BASE-8 CompuScope digitizer designed for OEM customers who require analog-to-digital conversion in their systems. KineticSystems highlighted its new family of P216/210/206/205 cards, which are simultaneous-sampling multifunction PXI modules that provide four differential analog input channels, 14/16-bit analog-to-digital resolution, and simultaneous sampling of up to 2 Msample/s.
