Pickering Interfaces to exhibit at EDI CON in Boston

Pickering Interfaces announced it will showcase its range of PXI and LXI RF and microwave switching products, along with its soon-to-be-released 2-slot USB/LXI modular chassis and LXI simulation tool at EDI CON USA 2016.

Event organizers say EDI CON USA, to take place September 20-22, 2016, in Boston, brings together RF, microwave, EMC/EMI, and high-speed-digital design engineers and system integrators for networking, training, and learning opportunities. EDI stands for Electronic Design Innovation.

Pickering said it would present these new products at the event:

• 2-slot USB/LXI modular chassis. This new chassis offers a small, lightweight form factor, making it suitable for portable, benchtop, and space-restrictive applications. It supports one or two 3U PXI modules and accepts the majority of Pickering’s PXI products. The USB compatible and LXI compliant interfaces enable the chassis to be controlled directly through standard interfaces found on most personal computers—allowing for a cost-effective route into the modular test and measurement market.
• LXI simulation tool. This simple and portable tool provides users with a simple platform for application development. Supported products include Pickering Interfaces’ PXI and LXI switching modules; PXI simulation and instrumentation products are partially supported. This tool allows programmers to develop and debug test code for Pickering’s LXI switching devices prior to receiving the devices or before installing the LXI switching in a test system.

Pickering’s RF and microwave switching products range from low-level DC signals to signal bandwidths up to 65 GHz. Configurations available within PXI and LXI platforms include multiplexers, matrices, transfer switches, and general-purpose switches.

Also highlighted in the booth will be the company’s eBIRST switching system test tools. These tools, designed specifically for Pickering’s PXI, PCI, or LXI products, simplify switching system faultfinding by quickly testing the system and graphically identifying the faulty relays.

Pickering will also be showing a range of LXI and PXI switching products, PXI chassis, and PXI battery simulators.
