The company is focused on the 6U PXI form factor, which it sees as the PXI platform of choice for configuring instrumentation systems, with the smaller 3U configuration serving primarily data-acquisition applications. Among Geotest's new offerings is the GX7000 20-slot 6U PXI chassis, which can accommodate up to 19 PXI or CompactPCI instruments. Geotest's new instrument offerings on display include a DMM, time-interval counter, and ROM emulator. The SMX2044 version adds sourcing capability. Each pod handles eight bits of data, enabling four pods to handle 32-bit chores.
Static cards rely on a host PC's memory and CPU power for controlling data-transfer operations.
