All SCOUT interfaces feature Direct Access Technology, an innovative pull-thru mass interconnect solution specifically designed to deliver the full performance of the PXI platform. Direct Access Technology enables system designers to limit or eliminate traditional cabling by introducing a cutting-edge pull-through interface adapter – called a Direct Access Kit (DAK).
Through the utilization of fully enclosed PCBs or fixed-wire connectivity solutions, DAKs allow for easy removal and addition of individual PXI instrumentation with no adverse effect on other system components. Furthermore, DAKs mitigate capacitance, signal crosstalk and other attenuation issues that plague conventional cable based ATE. The result is increased performance with a far higher degree of stability and up time.
