Fault Insertion

Pickering Interfaces has many years of experience in Fault Insertion testing, and fault testing is critical in avionics systems.
We offer the widest range of fault insertion modules available in PXI and can support those same modules through Ethernet connectivity using our LXI Modular Chassis.
Fault Insertion solutions vary from simple fault insertion modules like the 40-190B to the more complex fault insertion BRIC solutions like 40-592A and 40-595A.
For more information on Fault Insertion testing, click here to view the PXI Solution for Hardware in the Loop Fault Insertion and Sensor Emulation brochure.

Resistor Modules Sensor emulation is a critical part of any automotive test system, and many of those sensors are based on resistive devices. Pickering Interfaces has the widest range of resistor modules available on the market in the PXI form factor. Click here for more information on our family of Precision resistor modules.
