Aeroflex has added boundary scan, Q test, and a PXI software wrapper tool to its 5800 Series of PCB test systems, which it now plans to market in the US. Launched in Europe in November 2005, the 5800 Series enables you to integrate hardware with PXI or standard instrumentation from third-party suppliers.
Simultaneously with the US launch, Aeroflex has made significant enhancements. In addition to boundary scan, Q test allows you to test analog ICs, digital ICs, or connectors for pin connectivity using only pin-list data. The PXI software wrapper tool eases integration of PXI cards into the Aeroflex software environment without .NET assemblies. In addition to PXI, you can use the same tool for most instrument drivers including DLLs.The 5800 Series provides an open hardware and software environment, and reconfigurable pinface styles to enable low-cost analog in-circuit testing with a maximum of 3456 test points, functional testing, and systems test. The series uses a 21-slot rack, power and utility cards, and comes in floor-standing, benchtop, or rack-mounted body styles.
