Who can use ABex?
1. System Integrators
Test systems can be set up in very short time. Through the terminal module concept custom wiring work is almost completely not necessary. An ABex-based system is integrated by combining PXI instruments with individual terminal modules, optional rear modules withthe ABex backplane and and DUT interface. The system-specific connections between the instruments are configured by software and routed programmatically by the ATE software.
2. Instrument Vendors
Manufacturers of PXI instruments can offer ABex terminal modules as complementary products and by doing this they can implement additional electronics for signal conditioning on the terminal modules.
3. Final Users
Customers benefit first from lower prices as compared to individually wired system solutions and improved flexibility at the same time. Users of ABex-based systems can easily make any necessary adjustments himself. Testers can easily be adapted when requirements change and components can be reused.
