The ATX-Express is a fully integrated solution for testing ADCs, DACs and other Analog functions. It features the same signal quality and versatility as the ATX7006, but is limited to 5 slots. The ATX-Express is ideal for test labs that don't have a wide range of converters to test and therefore can settle with less slots. The ATX-Express is a single instrument for testing data converters. This saves the investment in various high end rack and stack instruments and writing proprietary software to control them.
|
This means you can concentrate on testing your converters rather than fine-tuning the test set-up. The ATX-Express is capable of testing converters from 4 to 24-bit. Its versatile digital I/O makes interfacing to the DUT easy, even for embedded converters. The Single Reference Architecture improves the stability and reduces calibration effort. The backplane distributed clock ensures coherent measuring.
The ATX-Express can also be used as an add-on upgrade for ATE systems. Please see the ATX7006 documentation for more details.
