The OTS platform is designed for applications that require minimum downtime. The modular architecture of the platform allows cards to be calibrated or repaired without the necessity of returning the entire system, thus reducing downtime due to system failure. The OTS product family evolves with the product under test. By a simple change in chassis size and reuse of the same modules, the OTS product family can support the life cycle of the product - from benchtop, to production, to the field. Or, as requirements change, new modules can be added to existing systems to increase testing capabilities and meet new demands.
All chassis utilize the same user interface and remote command set.
This enables a smooth transition between test fixtures, reduces training time and keeps users at peak efficiency. Because all OTS chassis use the same software, test programs written for one system can be used by any of the chassis, significantly reducing test suite development times and personnel training costs. The OTS platform supports full remote control via Ethernet, serial or GPIB interfaces, enabling quick verification of the quality of system transmissions which accelerates test schedules. For production testing, a full remote command set helps create automated test suites quickly and efficiently.
