Abstract
Choosing the right test platform is essential when developing production test systems. In this paper we evaluate basics of PXI, computer based instrumentation, switching and fixturing. Different configurations of automatic test systems are presented, and methods of optimizing timing and synchronization between different instruments are evaluated. Hybrid systems the seamless integration of multiple technologies including PXI, VXI and GPIB based instruments is discussed. Finally, test software solutions to improve your test are discussed
