(Product News, 08 Oct 2007 )
Geotest-Marvin Test Systems has announced the addition of GX7002A-MP and GX7302-MP products to its family of 3U and 6U chassis. The two new chassis incorporate the MAC Panel SCOUT receivers, which offer a reliable and high performance method to connect test system resources to a mass interconnect receiver, minimizing the need for cable assemblies.
“The MAC Panel solution offers a superior method to interface test system resources to the ITA, and helps to eliminate the need for cumbersome wiring harnesses and their inherent reliability issues,” said Loofie Gutterman, Geotest president. “A PCB assembly is more cost effective, easier to maintain, and above all, very reliable. And the SCOUT receiver is modular, which means you can select from a variety of connectors to suit your requirements.”
The GX73x2-MP incorporates a 20-slot 3U PXI chassis that can accommodate up to 19 instruments as well as an embedded PXI controller or a PXI bus expander interface such as the GX7990 or MXI-4. The GX70x2A-MP incorporates a 20-slot 6U PXI chassis that can accommodate up to 19 instruments as well as a PXI controller or a PXI bus expander interface such as the GX7990 or MXI-4. Like all of Geotest's chassis, the GX7302-MP and GX7002A-MP utilize Smart features, which support the monitoring of slot temperatures and system power supply voltages as well provide the ability to program or map each PXI trigger line from one PCI segment to another.
