Pickering Interfaces Test and Measurement PXI LXI PCI VXI IEEE-488 Instruments and Switching

Pickering Interfaces offer a range of LXI and PXI products ideal for the testing of Avionics systems. Products include matrices that implement ARINC 608A architectures, RF switch modules, fault insertion products, general purpose switching and large matrices. Here is a selection of products suited for Avionics applications.

ARINC 608A Switching Modules

The 40-569 & 40-618 specifically address ARINC 608A switching requirements. These PXI solutions offer very competitive alternatives compared to earlier VXI products.
The PXI ARINC 608A switching solutions provide a compact and cost effective implementation with simpler software control because of their highly integrated design.
The 40-569 is a BRIC module that integrates the Resource Distributor and Bus Matrix inputs with an analog backplane to provide switching functions described in Appendix D of the specification.
The 40-618 provides the general purpose SPST switches and 4 channel multiplexers, also described in Appendix D.

PXI RF Switching Modules

The 40-870, 40-872, 40-873, 40-874, 40-875, 40-876 and 40-877 are high performance PXI 3GHz RF switching modules. Designed for low VSWR and low insertion loss these modules are usable to 3.5Ghz and are perfect for critical avionics test applications.

LXI Chassis

60-102-001 7 Slot LXI Chassis and 60-103-001 18 Slot LXI Chassis are capable of hosting any of Pickering's range of PXI Switching Modules allowing remote control over a standard LAN interface.

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 40-592 and 40-595.

Resistor Modules Sensor emulation in Avionics testing is a critical part of any 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.
