Pickering Interfaces is pleased to introduce two PXI high power solid-state switch modules to its range of PXI switching solutions. The PXI 25 SPST switch (40-184) is capable of handling 25 A signals at up to 100 V, while the PXI 1.5 A SPST (40-185) is capable of handling 1.5 A signals at up to 400 V.

Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and instrumentation, is pleased to announce a significant milestone in providing test engineers with the optimum PXI solutions for their Test & Measurement applications. The company now offers over 1,000 PXI modules, ranging from their BRIC™ high density switching matrices, RF/microwave and optical switching products through to precision resistor switching networks for sensor emulation.

Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and instrumentation for use in electronic test and simulation, offers four switching modules. These products include a new PXI signal insertion and monitor matrix and updates to their PXI microwave multiplexers and PXI high-density large matrix BRIC™ range.

Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and instrumentation for use in electronic test and simulation, announces the release of the fifth edition of its book; "PXImate" – A Practical Guide to Using PXI.

Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and instrumentation for use in electronic test and simulation, is expanding its range of PCI precision programmable resistor solutions with the introduction of two new PCI cards. the 50-262 PCI RTD simulator range is offered with two resistance ranges and four different models are offered in the 50-265 PCI strain gauge range.

Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and instrumentation for use in electronic test and simulation, is expanding its range of PCI switching solutions with the introduction of seven new PCI cards and expansion of an eighth card.

Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PCI and PXI Programmable Resistors. The existing PCI High-Density Precision Resistor Card (model 50-297) and PXI High-Density Precision Resistor Module (model 40-297) have been expanded to increase the versions offered from 6 to 42; each version offers users the choice of the number of resistor channels, resistance range and the resistance setting resolution.

Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and instrumentation for use in electronic test and simulation, is improving and expanding its range of PXI Microwave Switching Modules. All of these new and improved microwave switch modules will include visual indicators of the relay setting thru the use of blue LEDs that indicate when a normally open path has been closed.

Pickering announced that a major UK manufacturer of aircraft engine control units awarded them a contract for a large quantity of high-density PXI multiplexers as the switching solution for use in its new automated production test systems. These systems will be used to test FADEC lightning-strike protection components.

This new PXI 10A power multiplexer (model 40-661) is available in a variety of configurations ranging from 8 off 4:1 multiplexers to 1 off 32:1 multiplexer. Each multiplexer is capable of hot switching up to 10 A at 30 VDC and has a maximum DC hot switch rating of 125 VDC. AC signals up to 250 VAC at 10 A can be switched. For cold switching applications the 40-661 is capable of withstanding 400 VDC.
