A healthy option for test
|
|
|
|
| Comprehensive test for medical devices, with a combination of analog and digital capability for in-circuit and functional test, calls for a unique set of hardware and software. As seen in this application, new PXI systems are coming to market, mixing several capabilities into a single platform. |

Intelligent data logging streamlines operations
|
|
|
By Terry Nagy, Computer Aided Solutions
|
|
| Modern data loggers can do much more than simply record analog and digital signals as did previous generations of these devices. Enhanced processing power combined with predefined math, statistical and alarm functions, and flexible programming interfaces, allow them to process measured data locally, reduce the volume of data being stored, and generate actionable information. |

Replacing legacy equipment platforms with PXI for sound and vibration
|
|
|
By Wyatt Meek and Raj Balsamy, VI Engineering
|
|
| With the ease of use of LabVIEW and the continued growth of new PXI modular instruments and data acquisition cards, engineers are able to easily replace legacy and proprietary instruments that cost their companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in support and data processing time with a single, open system. |

Electrostatic discharge testing: High voltage, high pin-count testing of semiconductor components
|
|
|
By Dr. Brenda McCaffrey, White Mountain Labs
|
|
| ESD is a very costly and complex facet of the semiconductor industry, and there are many people involved in designing ESD protection strategies on monolithic ICs. These devices are characterized and tested to make sure that minimal levels of ESD immunity are sustained on today’s complex and highly integrated semiconductor products. |
