Pickering Interfaces model 60-105 4-Slot USB/LXI Modular Chassis

Pickering Interfaces has announced the model 60-105 4-Slot USB/LXI Modular Chassis. The product complements the company’s model 60-104 2-Slot USB/LXI Modular Chassis in that they both offer a small, lightweight form factor suitable for portable, benchtop and space-restrictive applications.

The chassis is designed for desk or rack mounting and features remote control via USB or LXI Ethernet. Remote control over a network enables the switching function of a test system to be located as close as possible to the target equipment.

The 4-slot chassis supports between one and four of Pickering’s 3U PXI modules. Possible systems include switching matrices up to 2208 crosspoints or up to 72 channels of programmable resistor/sensor simulation.

The chassis is USB 3 compatible and has a fully compliant LXI interface. These communications standards enable the chassis to be controlled directly through standard interfaces found on most personal computers and tablets that support HTML5, allowing for a practical route into a variety of applications in the modular test and measurement market.
