Astronics Test Systems Introduces a New Frequency Time Interval Counter
July 14 2016 - 9:00AM
Astronics Test Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astronics
Corporation (NASDAQ:ATRO), today announced the availability of a
new Frequency Time Interval Counter (FTIC) in collaboration with
National Instruments Corporation (NASDAQ:NATI) (“NI”). The
new Astronics PXIe-2461 is a high-performance, two channel,
universal 235 MHz frequency interval counter. It is the first
product developed from Astronics’ collaboration with NI, announced
in November 2015, to revitalize legacy aerospace and defense test
systems.

“We are kicking off our collaboration with NI with an FTIC that
offers excellent measurement precision in a smaller form-factor vs.
traditional one-size-fits-all digitizers, which are commonly used
to record frequency, time, and interval measurements,” commented
Steve Fairbanks, Sr. Director of Products and Instruments for
Astronics Test Systems. “We look forward to further
leveraging the combination of Astronics’ strength in test system
integration and NI’s leadership in PXI-based technology to produce
a best-in-class portfolio for automated test equipment
applications.”
A Precise Solution
The new FTIC is well-suited for use in military or commercial
applications. Designed for full test program sets (TPS)
compatibility, the instrument can replace existing VXI-based FTICs
and deliver the same capability in a newer PXI-based
subsystem. With outstanding resolution of up to nine digits
per second, the resolution can be 1 ns in single-shot mode and 100
ps in average mode. The unit operates in two voltage modes:
±5.1 V or ±42 V. The programmable measurement timeout ensures
that system performance is optimized where input signals are
missing.
Occupying a single PXI Express peripheral slot or hybrid slot,
the FTIC offers many easy-to-use automatic measurement functions
including:
- Frequency and period
- Time interval
- Time interval (delayed)
- Rise and fall time
- Pulse width
- Duty cycle
- Frequency ratio (channels 1:2 or 2:1)
- Totalize (manual, by pulse, by cycle and timed)
- Phase
Units are in production and available through the NI sales
channel starting at $4,499*. For more information, including
