For the very latest specifications visit www.aeroflex.com Avionics Test desk is a configurable PXI platform for avionics test Avionics Avionics Test Bench • Utilizes the Aeroflex 3000 Series PXI cards • Designed for use in product development, prototype, certification, factory test & service • Software tools provided by Aeroflex Avionics Test Studio • Avionics signal generation and signal analysis tools in a single chassis Avionics Test Bench is a comprehensive, configurable test platform for avionics system and component test. The basic unit, ATB-3000, is a powerful bench PXI avionics signal power pack, complete with Aeroflex integrated PC controller and tactile display. Additional PXI card slots provide for user customization. The inherent flexibility of PXI permits Avionics Test Bench to be offered in other ATE configurations, including as a part of larger ATE systems. The standard version of Avionics Test Bench, ATB-3000, consists of the Avionics Test Studio signal professional generator software and the Aeroflex 3021C RF signal generator and 3011 synthesizer cards, installed in a chassis with integral touch-screen. Additional card slots allow customers to add special purpose cards for customized test installations. An alternative implementation of Avionics Test Bench consists of an Aeroflex 3000 PXI chassis or customer-supplied PXI chassis containing the Aeroflex signal generator and synthesizer cards interfaced to a separate bench or laptop PC via an interface card such as the National Instruments MXI-4. This implementation may be most suitable for customers developing full ATE systems in which Avionics Test Bench and Avionics Test Studio products form one element. In addition to the ATB-3000 bench professional tester, Aeroflex will work with customers on customized ATE systems designed with Avionics Test Bench as the core architecture for large General Purpose ATE (GPATE), or low-profile ATE systems often used in labs and manufacturing areas. Avionics Test Studio Signal analyser (software and PXI digitizer card) will be offered as an option to either of the above implementations. Applications ATE installations: In the design of ATE systems, there is a strong and growing industry move away from VXI towards smaller and faster card bus architectures such as PXI and LXI. Avionics Test Studio offers these customers a way to implement avionics industrial test systems in PXI. Bench Test Systems: Avionics Test Bench is ideal as a base platform for a comprehensive avionics test system, for R&D, manufacturing, troubleshooting and service. It offers unparalleled flexibility for OEMs and repair shops to adapt to their own unique needs. See separate data sheets for Aeroflex 3000 Series PXI cards and chassis, Avionics Test Studio.
