Abstract :
Designing and deploying a VXI-based functional tester which incorporates a multiple array of test operations can be challenging. A VXI test system is an incredibly powerful hardware platform that requires a wide range of signal propagation choices and possibilities. With the addition of a mass interconnect solution integrated as part of the overall design, a complex program such as testing a sophisticated airplane immediately becomes extremely versatile.
