PXI Express Data Acquisition Platform
PXI Express is the fastest data acquisition platform currently available with unmatched bandwidths in excess of 1 GB/s and latencies less than 1 µs. This makes PXI Express-based data acquisition systems ideal for data intensive applications like high-speed digitization, signal-generation, and communication interfaces where high sample rates and channel counts could choke other interfaces.

Microwave Switches
SMX-7XXX (Microwave)
The AMETEK VTI Instruments SMX-7000 Series of microwave switch cards extends functionality typically reserved for dedicated stand-alone systems into the PXIe from-factor. Single and dual slot configurations provide the ability to mix and match multiple switch configurations including SPDT, SP4T, SP6T and Transfer. Embedded virtual schematic control further simplifies setup and debugging allowing all relays to be engaged independent of application software and device drivers. Ideally suited for medium-to-high density automated test equipment (ATE), the SMX-7000 Series deliver uncompromised measurement integrity ideal for the most demanding aerospace, defense and communication applications.

VXI Chassis
The first VXIbus specification was introduced to the test and measurement community in 1987 and was initially developed to provide a card-based instrumentation platform for applications that required high density and high performance. The platform continues to thrive today by leveraging off the original specifications which define the necessary physical (real estate/cooling) and electrical standards for demanding applications and has established itself as the ‘time-tested bus you can trust’ for requirements that must be supported in excess of ten-fifteen years.

EMX-75XX
The EMX-75XX Series adds to AMETEK VTI Instruments' growing PXI Express (PXIe) Core Automated Test Equipment (ATE)TM family as a high-current, high-density digital input/output line of modules. Unlike many static I/O PXIe modules on the market today, the EMX-75XX Series can sink or source up to 300 mA on each channel. Delivering beyond just 2 V and 5 V, engineers can program the cards to support a wide range of voltages and more—on every channel, for both input and output.

Power Switches
SMX-2002 (Power)
The SMX-2002 is the only switch module in its class with the ability to switch up to 16A. Some applications include: AC line power switching, switching of DC or AC power supplies, control or driving relays for industrial machines (robotics, numerical control machines), automotive engine control, and solenoid switching. Since this module typically switches power to the UUT or interface, the SMX-2002 includes failsafe pins on the front panel which can be configured to open all relays when a failsafe signal is activated. This approach can instantly removes all power to the UUT or interface.
