Aeroflex enters US ATE market
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 12/1/2006
Aeroflex has introduced its 5800 series of configurable ATE systems into the US. Launched in Europe in 2005, the 5800 series provides board and system functional tests of avionics, automotive, military, and medical products. Available in bench, floor-standing, or rack-mount configurations, the system consists of a 21-slot PXI backplane that communicates to a PC through an MXI-4 link. The ATE systems are available with most Virginia Panel interfaces for connecting test instruments to your UUT.
The testers include IEEE-488, RS-232, and USB ports for use with external instruments. System software lets you develop your own test sequences or use test software developed with LabView, TestStand, or any .NET-compatible language. You can also use a DLL wrapper for instruments that lack an ActiveX driver. The tool lets you import and combine C-language headers and DLLs into callable instrument drivers.
Base price: $42,000. Aeroflex, www.aeroflex.com.
