Features
The TS-960e-5G can be configured with up to 256 dynamic digital channels. The base platform uses the GX5296 – a 3U PXI, 32 channel, 100 MHz digital I/O card with per channel parametric measurement units (PMUs).
A wide range of digital and analog instrument options can easily be incorporated into the TS-960e-5G for supporting both functional and DC parametric test capabilities. RF instrumentation options include the Keysight M9807 / M9808 PXIe VNAs.
The system is also available with digital vector conversion tools that support ASCII, WGL, STIL, VCD, eVCD and ATP vector formats.
