New Configurable Platform Gives Companies a
Head Start on PXI System Development
Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRO), through its wholly owned
subsidiary Astronics Test Systems, announced a breakthrough concept
in PXI system development: the ATS-3100 PXI Integration Platform.
The new ATS-3100 provides a starter “system-in-a-box” for engineers
to rapidly create and configure new test, measurement, or other
systems based on PXI, a versatile PC-based platform for measurement
and automation systems.

system. (Photo: Business Wire)
“We’ve made it easier than ever before for system designers to
create PXI-based solutions,” said Brian Price, Vice President of
Astronics Test Systems. “We’re eliminating the time wasted in
configuring and debugging complex cabling or the custom integration
of instruments. This new platform offers a streamlined, deployable
solution that does all the hard work for you. Simply plug in your
instruments, install your software, and get going on producing your
complete PXI system solution.”
“The core idea behind NI’s open software and modular hardware
approach is flexibility that can be harnessed by the end user,“
said Reggie Rector, Principal Solution Manager from National
Instruments. “The ATS-3100 represents a highly integrated extension
to the NI PXI platform to simplify the design and deployment of
automated test systems.”
About the ATS-3100
The ATS-3100 PXI Integration Platform saves engineers time,
complexity, and non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs in developing
next-generation PXI-based systems. Engineers can start with the
basic set of technologies and focus time and energy on building
final, polished solutions for any variety of applications such as
testing, measuring, stimulating, computing, and monitoring.
The ATS-3100 serves as a building block for desktop or
rack-mount test systems in R&D and manufacturing environments.
Containing all of the elements needed to jump start system
development, the ATS-3100 features:
- 18-slot hybrid PXI/PXI Express
chassis
- The latest NI backplane technology
- Reconfigurable front and rear panels
for customer defined I/O for a variety of applications
- Internal cable and connection
management
- Large touchscreen display
- Controller
- Mechanical packaging
- Compatibility with TestStand or LabVIEW
software from NI
The ATS-3100 is a modular system, and engineers can integrate
instruments from any vendor or specify instruments from Astronics
Test Systems in their configuration. Available PXI instruments from
Astronics include a digitizer, pulse pattern generator, waveform
generator, frequency time and interval counter, rubidium, and
digital test instrument. The configurable platform also “future
proofs” finished test systems with the ability to upgrade
instruments and software at any time.
In addition to a standalone package, Astronics Test Systems will
also offer the ATS-3100 PXI Integration Platform as part of a
turnkey solution in which Astronics can provide the instruments and
customization to create an entire system to customer
requirements.
Astronics Test Systems will display the new ATS-3100 PXI
Integration Platform for the first time at NIWeek in Austin, Texas,
from May 22-25, 2017. For complete product details and to request a
