VTI Instruments - SMX-7xxx series of Microwave Switch Cards
The SMX-7xxx product family is made up of a series of microwave switch cards.
The AMETEK VTI Instruments SMX-7000 Series of microwave switch cards extends functionality typically reserved for dedicated stand-alone systems into the PXIe from-factor. Single and dual slot configurations provide the ability to mix and match multiple switch configurations including SPDT, SP4T, SP6T and Transfer. Embedded virtual schematic control further simplifies setup and debugging allowing all relays to be engaged independent of application software and device drivers. Ideally suited for medium-to-high density automated test equipment (ATE), the SMX-7000 Series deliver uncompromised measurement integrity ideal for the most demanding aerospace, defense and communication applications.
