This, the company says, enables communications test engineers to address a variety of 2G and 3G wireless data standards with a single software defined system. With the addition of the Bluetooth measurement suite and the WLAN and CDMA2000/1xEVDO plug-ins for the PXI Studio software application, Aeroflex describes the PXI 3000 series as 'one of the most versatile and far reaching communications test applications available'. Tim Carey, PXI product manager, Aeroflex, says: "With these new and updated measurement suites, our extremely flexible PXI offering demonstrates how adept it is at addressing changing market requirements as technology shifts. The PXI 3000 series is a truly software defined, scalable and compact platform that addresses emerging and legacy wireless data standards with the same hardware, making it possible for one low cost, reconfigurable test system to meet all of your wireless testing needs." All measurement suites are supported by Aeroflex's PXI Studio application software for easy manual operation with versatile measurement displays to facilitate test system integration as well as testing and problem solving in production and R&D.
