The 5800 Series multi-configuration, multi-function ATE system is the most highly flexible, scalable and modular test environment designed. It provides the true reconfigurability needed to meet the ever-changing requirements of the rapidly evolving PCB industry.
The 5800 Series features an open hardware and software architecture and reconfigurable pinface styles to give users the ability to combine low-cost analog in-circuit testing with a maximum of 3456 test points, high integrity functional testing and systems test all within a single test environment. This has positive implications on floor space, board handling and the cost of test.
The core hardware architecture is based on a PXI backplane, a GPIB bus interface and Aeroflex´s own internal bus, providing high-speed signal integrity. So users have the opportunity to create versatile test scenarios based on the combined use of 5800 Series instrument cards and Aeroflex´s PXI instrument cards as well as third party PXI cards and GPIB instruments. This also enables existing test applications to be simply and easily migrated to the 5800 Series platform as required.
From a software perspective, the 5800 Series includes a completely new integrated test environment featuring Assisted Program Generation software. The software environment is completely NET compatible, ensuring that test programs already written for Test Stand or Labview can be easily implemented on the 5800 Series. So it avoids the need to retrain test engineers, as they can utilise their existing programming skills. Different test environments have different signal integrity requirements when connected to the unit under test. To address these differing requirements, the 5800 Series can be supplied with almost any interface from Virginia Panel to a cabled system. The 5800 Series can also be used to undertake parallel testing of either two boards of the same type to reduce board handling time or two different boards at the same time.
The 5800 Series is available in three different body styles: benchtop (5820), floor standing (5850) and rack-mount (5830). Three 5800 Series instrument cards will be available initially with more in development. These include a Multi-function Card, a Test Point Relay Card and a Multi-voltage Source Card. Various Aeroflex PXI Instrument cards are available including the Aeroflex 3000 Series comprising modules and associated software applications for RF signal generation and RF signal analysis.
