Why Future-Proof Test Systems Matter

As technology evolves rapidly, test systems must keep pace with new devices, protocols, and higher channel counts. Traditional fixed architectures often struggle to meet these demands, leading to costly upgrades, extended downtime, and reduced efficiency. A 12-Slot LXI/USB Chassis provides a modular, compact, and scalable solution, enabling engineers to future-proof their test operations without replacing entire infrastructures.

Compact Design with Maximum Flexibility

The 12-slot configuration consolidates multiple test functions—switching, simulation, and instrumentation—into a single 2U rack unit. This reduces floor space requirements while improving system efficiency. Dual LXI and USB interfaces enable seamless integration with existing PXI and PXIe modules, making the chassis adaptable for diverse testing applications.

Scalable Architecture for Growing Demands

One key advantage of the 12-Slot LXI/USB Chassis is modular expansion. Multiple chassis can be combined to create systems with up to 24 slots, scaling test capabilities without increasing complexity. Field-replaceable power supplies and controllers minimize downtime, while intelligent cooling maintains optimal performance for high-density applications.

Advanced Sequencing and Triggering

Built-in scan lists and software-configurable triggers streamline complex test routines. Local execution reduces host CPU load and Ethernet traffic, allowing faster test times and improved reliability. Engineers can manage sophisticated test sequences efficiently without additional hardware modifications.

Long-Term Support and Software Compatibility

The chassis is compatible with LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, and Visual Studio, supporting kernel-level and IVI/VISA interfaces. Extended driver support and warranties ensure your investment remains operational and relevant for years, reducing obsolescence and supporting future devices.
