ADLINK Launches Entry-Level PXI/PXIe Platforms

IEEE’S AUTOTESTCON, ANAHEIM, CA – September 13, 2016 –ADLINK Technology, a leading global provider of trusted testing and measurement products, today announced new entry-level PXI and PXI Express (PXIe) platforms for PXI testing system startup users.

The three new products include:

PXES-2301, an all-hybrid, 6-slot compact PXIe chassis with system bandwidth up to eight GB/s;
PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 embedded controllers with Intel® Celeron® 2000E 2.2GHz processors, delivering up to 50% increase in computing power and as much as eight times the bandwidth of available market offerings.

The new entry-level segment of PXI platforms completes ADLINK’s PXI portfolio, which encompasses high performance, mainstream and entry-level product classes benefitting a wide range of user profiles.

“As a sponsor member of the PXI Systems Alliance, ADLINK has more than 15 years’ PXI development experience. Having placed over 10k PXI/PXIe units marketwide,” said Tim Juan, Director of ADLINK’s Measurement Product Center. “We’re very happy to introduce these new entry-level PXI/PXIe platforms. ADLINK provides the most effective and worry-free PXI platforms for test and measurement startup users in all applications.”

PXES-2301 provides compact, yet powerful PXIe chassis with up to eight GB/s system bandwidth

The PXES-2301 6-slot PXIe chassis provides all-hybrid peripheral slots for data throughput up to 8 GB/s, optimization for industry use with enhanced heat dissipation and maximum PXI platform stability, leading portability and flexibility of deployment with available rackmount option and carrying handle, and ADLINK’s ChassisWatch™ smart system monitoring control utility, reporting full chassis status including fan speed, system voltages, and internal temperature.

The entry-level PXES-2301 supports a wide variety of applications, accepting installation of CompactPCI®, PXI, CompactPCI Express, and PXI Express modules in any peripheral slot for maximum flexibility. Compact construction, light 5.85kg weight, and carrying handle and rubber feet enable complete portability. While the half-rack size with efficient feature layout eases rackmounting, such that even two PXES-2301 chassis can be accommodated in a single rackmount system.

The PXES-2301 chassis is efficient and low-maintenance, securing the entire system with cooling and alarm technologies that maximize PXI platform stability and increase the life of the chassis. In addition, with ADLINK’s ChassisWatch smart system monitoring control utility, chassis power and temperature are tracked, adjusting fans accordingly and triggering alarms when user-configured limits are met, reducing maintenance cost and effort.

PXIS-3935/PXI-3930 embedded controllers deliver increased computing performance and data throughput at an unprecedented price point

ADLINK PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 PXI Express/PXI embedded controllers, based on the Intel® Celeron® 2000E 2.2GHz processor, deliver maximum system throughput at 8GB/s and 132 MB/s respectively, increasing as much as eight times that of similar product offerings. Pairing this superior performance with an unprecedented price point, the PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 provide substantial interface flexibility, including two DisplayPort connectors, allowing connection of two 4K UHD monitors at the same time with independent displays*, dual USB 3.0 connections for high-speed peripheral devices, dual GbE ports for connection to LXI instruments, and built-in GPIB connection for hybrid PXI-based testing systems control.

ADLINK’s PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 significantly reduce maintenance burdens with easily replaceable battery and upgradable storage and SODIMM modules. Backup BIOS also eases recovery in the event of a main BIOS cras
