Significant milestone reached in PXI


Because in Electronic Test; 
One Size Definitely Does Not Fit All


With over 25 years of signal switching and instrumentation experience, we have learned that "One Size Does Not Fit All" when it comes to electronic test. Our customers' requirements are very diverse—that is why over the past 16 years, in close cooperation with our customers, we have developed over 1000 catalog PXI switch and instrumentation modules to handle an enormous range of requirements. 

These PXI modules include but aren't limited to:

  • BRIC™ high density matrices
  • RF & Microwave matrices and multiplexers
  • Optical
  • Fault Insertion
  • Programmable resistors
  • Digital I/O

Look to the left and you will see our newest offerings to our PXI range just released this month.

So you may ask why we offer such a large range of PXI modules? 
This has been driven by a number of application requirements including:

  • Number of input and output channels
  • Voltage
  • Power
  • Current
  • Bandwidth
  • Switch time
  • Switching life
  • Switching technology 
    • Reed Relay
    • EMR
    • Solid State
    • MEMS
    • Microwave Relay
  • Crosstalk/isolation
  • Budget limitations
  • Low noise
  • Switching configuration and density

These requirements are so varied that test engineers demand a very wide and ever increasing range of solutions. “One size fits all” just doesn’t work in switching for Test & Measurement. Take a look at our PXI Switching web page, on the left under product navigation it shows a product count for the number of modules available by main category and for each sub-category.

This is just one of the questions we are asked regularly on why and how we offer such a large range of PXI modules. See more FAQs here:

Don't forget - we stand behind all of our products with a standard three-year warranty and long-term support.

What is a Programmable Resistor?

Pickering's PCI & PXI Programmable Resistors

A programmable resistor is designed to emulate the use of resistive sensors and variable resistors in systems when testing devices such as engine controllers.

In their simplest form, Pickering's programmable resistors consist of a basic chain of resistance values switched in or out of circuit with reed relays, electro-mechanical relays or solid state switches. We also offer multi-channel programmable resistors with very fine value adjustment and high accuracy including programmable resistive bridges for strain gauge simulation.
