ABI Electronics SYSTEM 8 Multiplexed Matrix Switch

ABI Electronics’ range of test, diagnostic and measurement instrumentation is commonly used in the test and maintenance of highly complex systems across a variety of industries and applications worldwide. Now, the company has announced a product which combines the capabilities of both multiplexer and matrix switching topologies.

With the SYSTEM 8 Multiplexed Matrix Switch and modular instrumentation range, users will be able to route signals for design verification and data acquisition applications; run automated functional tests on components and PCBs; measure and compare signals from up to 64 points on a circuit; and make more efficient use of cables, clips and probes. Users can achieve high-level results without the need for programming.

For low-volume operations, the MMS and modular instrumentation range allow many sequential tests to be performed on the board under test without the need to keep unplugging and changing cables. This is said to reduce both test set-up time and execution.
