Building upon its product line used in VXI, GPIB, and Ethernet testing environments, EADS North America Defense Test & Services now offers 11 switch and four digital I/O Adapt-a-Switch PXI modules.

EADS also offers seven versions of the 1260-1145 high-density switch matrix, which provides passive monitoring of up to 144 cross points and can serve in automotive system-level testing.
The new line-up also includes the 1260-1138A, a 64-channel, two-wire scanner/multiplexer; the 1260-1150, which offers a 500-MHz bandwidth and bidirectional electromechanical I/O; the 1260-1118 80-channel, 2-A, 300-VAC/VDC, 100-MHz SPST switch module; and the 1260-1120 20-channel SPST switch with individual 10-ADC/13-AAC switch ratings.
