Modular-instrument products and strategies dominate Autotestcon

Products featured at Autotestcon 2012 last week spanned a variety of applications and formats. Highlights included boundary-scan tools, radar test instruments, cable testers, and low-noise synthesizers. Modular instruments were in the forefront, as panelists discussed modular instrument strategies and companies presented new modular products, including PXI Express chassis, digitizers, and controllers; PXI and LXI switch matrices; synthetic instruments; and an AXIe-based antenna calibration and test systems.
