Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and simulation for electronic test and verification, have introduced a new addition to their family of USB/LXI Modular Chassis, which support their range of 1000+ PXI modules.
The new 4-Slot Modular Chassis (model 60-105) complements Pickering’s existing 2-slot version (model 60-104) in that they both offer a small, lightweight form factor ideal for portable, benchtop and space restrictive applications. These chassis are designed for desk or rack mounting and feature remote control via USB or Ethernet.
The new 4-slot chassis supports between one and four of Pickering’s 3U PXI modules. Possible systems include switching matrices up to 2208 cross-points, 6off 40GHz SP6T microwave multiplexers or up to 72 channels of programmable resistor/sensor simulation.
The chassis is USB 3 compatible and has a fully compliant LXI version 1.5 interface. These communications standards enable the chassis to be controlled directly through standard interfaces found on most personal computers and also tablets that support HTML5, allowing for a very practical route into a variety of applications in the modular Test and Measurement market.
Pickering Interfaces stands behind all of their manufactured products with a standard three-year warranty and guaranteed long-term product support.
