PXIe Chassis for Modular RF Test and Measurement Systems | PXE6410

PXE6410
PXIe Chassis with Embedded Controller
6-Slot Gen3 x4 Chassis

More Output. Less Effort.
The PXE6410 is a PXI-Express chassis with a PXI Embedded Controller that makes PXI-based test systems productive without detours. The focus is on reproducible performance, well-engineered Power supply, and precise clocking for demanding measurement and verification tasks.

Engineered for Performance – Built for Everyday Use
The compact enclosure fits standard racks and operates quietly and efficiently. Precisely guided slots and the PXI Chassis Rack-Mount design ensure stable operation in 19″ cabinets. USB, LAN, and HDMI enable seamless integration with existing environments; firmware maintenance, displays and information retrieval, as well as digital control, are handled centrally.

Plug-&-Perform in a Modular Setup
Arbitrary Waveform sources, generator modules, and RF amplifiers are consistently integrated within the PXIe chassis—from concept to production readiness. Stable signal routes, high frequency stability, and current monitoring for mobile racks with batteries are implemented seamlessly. PXIe-wide displays keep processes transparent; service remains plannable.

Integration That Truly Integrates
With software workflows, test sequences are automated and documented. Embedded configurations can be deployed centrally; a PXI Chassis Controller expands the platform when required. Integrate an Arbitrary Waveform Function Generator, add channels, and scale—without changing the architecture.

Future-Proof and Scalable
Up to six freely configurable slots enable customized setups across the entire lifecycle of products. Where required, amplifier and filter modules are added so that signal dynamics and Power reserves match the specific application. Stable waveform tests, digital triggers, and high frequency stability support validation in R&D as well as automated test flows on the production line.
