The trend is towards economical platforms suitable for industry
There is a heightened interest in testing departments to configure the required functions in compact units as flexibly as possible so that future requirements can be covered without any need for large additional investments. Moreover, constantly reduced product development times call for powerful, easy-to-operate and standardized software components which can be integrated as reusable modules in a multitude of applications.
Customer requirements, particularly in the telecommunications and automotive electronics sector, emphasize power density and modularity, thus clearly pointing to platform-based T&M equipment that is favourably priced and suitable for industry.
The new R&S® CompactTSVP open test platform from Rohde & Schwarz has been tailored to meet these requirements, offering special cost advantages for T&M applications in the development, production and servicing of telecommunications and automotive electronics. It provides users with a basic modular concept of T&M functionalities and communication interfaces for hardware and software.
The new product line is based on the CompactPCI / PXI and CAN standards already established on the market.
The introduction of the PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) standard as an extension of CompactPCI by the US company National Instruments led to a commonly acceptable path for the technical community to implement measurement functionalities based on an established standard at cost-efficient pricing, featuring well performing modular system components. More than 600 measurement and interface products are currently available for the PXI standard.
