NEW BERLIN, Wis., April 30, 2004 — Digalog Systems Inc. of New Berlin, WI, has introduced its next-generation test system, the Series 2050. The 2050 can be configured as a functional, in-circuit or combinational test platform. Centered on the widely-supported PXI (PCI Extensions for Instrumentation) standard, the 2050 integrates a wide 18-slot 6U PXI Chassis with a 9U Resource Interface Chassis. This Resource Interface Chassis can accept a wide selection of standard or custom Digalog test and signal conditioning capabilities. UUT (Unit-Under-Test) connection is done through a highly configurable Virginia Panel Interface.
Scalability and open architecture are key design principles of the 2050. A minimal configuration can be assembled as a pure PXI system, using boards from any of more than 60 vendors, including Digalog. For more demanding and resource-intensive applications, the ultra-quiet, high-density, Resource Interface Chassis can be configured with a wide selection of Digalog’s source, measurement, and switching cards. Multiple "testers per system" can be defined with the appropriate signal conditioning configuration, resulting in significant cost savings in multi-product production test environments.
The expandable Virginia Panel Interface can be configured with the exact mixture of high-density, high-current, and coaxial connections needed for a particular product. This interface may be populated as required by the UUT, and updated as needs dictate. The Virginia Panel Interface provides a reliable, industry accepted adapter to the UUT, whether using a fixture or cabling to an operator interface, handler or environmental chamber.
The 2050 is designed to take advantage of the benefits of open architecture bus technologies while providing for the needs of fully integrated test systems via the Resource Interface Chassis. The 2050 leverages Digalog’s 30 plus years of experience in providing test solutions to the electronic industries.
