Abstract

The PXI carrier is a module designed for OPENSTAR open-architecture ATE systems (Rajsuman and Masuda, 2004) that allows PXI instruments to be integrated into an ATE test head. The PXI carrier fixes several problems inherent in using PXI instruments for ATE, and allows quick turn-around of solutions that would otherwise require lengthy ATE module development. This paper describes the PXI carrier, and then describes two applications of the PXI carrier, an RF test module and a baseband AWG/digitizer module
