500MHz switch card added to functional test platform
Two new products have been added to the GENASYS functional test platform by Marvin Test Systems (MTS). Building on the performance architecture of the GENASYS switching subsystem, MTS has added the GX7017 Integrated GENASYS Chassis to the GENASYS product line providing digital, analogue and high performance switching capability within a single, compact, 6U PXI chassis footprint.
The GX7017 is a 20-slot 6U PXI chassis with an integrated MAC Panel SCOUT mass interconnect receiver that can accommodate up to nine GENASYS switching modules, eight high-performance digital instruments, and additional PXI instrument modules providing the flexibility to address a wide range of analogue / digital ATE applications.
Featuring high density signal switching for board and system level functional test with an “any-resource to any-pin” architecture, the GX7017 can accommodate any of the GENASYS switch modules, providing up to 2304 multiplexed, hybrid I/O pins without cabled connections via a MAC Panel 6U SCOUT receiver.
In addition, it can support up to 256 performance digital test channels providing a high performance and compact functional test platform for mixed-signal test applications.
The GX7017 chassis is available as a subsystem or as part of the TS-321, Marvin Test Solutions’ single-bay GENASYS functional test platform.
To further extend the switching capabilities of the GENASYS platform, Marvin Test Solutions has also introduced the GX6864, a 500MHz, 75Ohm RF multiplexer switch module for high I/O count, video switching / test applications.
