CLACTON-ON-SEA, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and simulation for electronic test and verification, announces the addition of a PXIe version of its USB 2.0 Hub module which offers the same capabilities as its popular PXI USB 2.0 Hub (model 40-738).

This USB 2.0 Hub (model 42-738) is a single-slot 3U PXIe module that combines an 8-port USB 2.0 hub and USB data/power switching to provide a controlled connection between the backplane and USB products. Each port can connect and disconnect power and data paths separately, simulating various connection faults.

Pickering Interfaces provides a range of modular signal switching and simulation products for use in electronic test and verification. Pickering offers PXI switching and simulation modules; with the widest range of PXI solutions available—more than 1,000 modules—Pickering can help you with your test and measurement requirements. Pickering Interfaces will continually expand the availability of Test Definition Files to cover all supported switching systems. Q: How do I find out where faulty relays are physically located? A: The eBIRST tools will quickly test the switching system, locate the faulty relay(s) and inform you what relays to replace via a graphical output.

The module can be used to connect a USB device under test or USB test equipment to the test system without reliance on the controller’s USB ports, eliminating the need for free-standing powered hubs in a test system. It also provides a simple way of expanding the range of test equipment supported by PXI-based test systems to include USB power meters, USB data acquisition systems and USB scopes.

Pickering Interfaces stands behind all its manufactured products with a standard three-year warranty and guaranteed long-term product support. Pricing and availability information is available at www.pickeringtest.com.

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 13, 2018--Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of modular signal switching and simulation products for electronic test and verification, announces a new six-slot modular USB/LXI chassis that occupies only a small, 1U rack-height form factor, making it suitable for portable and space-restricted rack-mount applications. The 60-106 chassis accepts from one to six Pickering PXI 3U modules; the user can choose from over 1000 module types including programmable resistors, matrices, multiplexers, general purpose relays, RF switches and fault insertion units.

The USB 3.0-compatible chassis features a fully compliant LXI interface with the option of using a Wi-Fi dongle (sold separately), enabling remote control via USB or LXI Ethernet — chassis can be controlled through standard PCs and tablets that support HTML5.

Comments Bob Stasonis, Director of Sales & Marketing at Pickering Interfaces: “The small size provides new functionality for test engineers. Possible system configurations include switching matrices up to 3312 crosspoints (three 40-560 BRIC2 modules occupying three pairs of slots) or up to 108 channels of programmable resistor/sensor emulation (six 40-295 18-channel resistor modules occupying six slots). This allows the system to add the necessary switching and frees up the PXI/PXIe slots for instrumentation.”
