Pickering Interfaces Announces Strategy for Reducing Test Development Time Using Simulation Tools

Pickering Interfaces Announces Strategy for Reducing Test Development Time Using Simulation Tools

door CN Rood

Mitigate supply chain issues, accelerate development, and safely verify and debug test program code by simulating more than 1000 PXI and LXI modules

Pickering Interfaces, a global supplier of modular signal switching and simulation solutions for use in electronic test and verification, announced the company’s leading-edge hardware and software simulation tools. These tools enable test engineers to begin writing and verifying test program code today, freeing them from supply chain constraints. 

 

Speed Test System Development with Simulation 

The software and hardware tools can simulate all Pickering PXI and LXI switching products and most of the company’s PXI simulation products, allowing for fast code development independent of application hardware. 

With these simulation tools, test engineers can:

  • Mitigate Supply Chain Risks: Applications can be designed and developed without the presence of physical hardware, allowing engineers to begin working on a test system immediately – while waiting for hardware to ship.
  • Accelerate Development Time: Engineers can speed up the traditional waterfall development process and complete multiple development steps at once.
  • Debug Code without Physical Hardware: Engineers can pre-qualify equipment and test software code early in the development process – switch routes that could once only be verified and later debugged when hardware was available can now be verified before the hardware has arrived. By simulating switching and simulation modules before using physical components, engineers also minimize the risk of damaging costly test system hardware during verification.
“We want to remove every barrier engineers face in getting their test systems up and running,” said Noman Hussain, VP of Software at Pickering Interfaces. “With the Pickering Simulation tools, engineers can start evaluating hardware or testing code immediately. They can use these tools to easily select the optimum Pickering products for their test application. Then, the moment hardware arrives, they’re ready to deploy their test system.”

The PXI Simulation Software is now part of the standard Pickering PXI driver installation, while the LXI Simulation Software is a standalone windows application that can emulate Pickering’s switching and simulation products in a virtual environment. Engineers can use both PXI and LXI software simulations to interact with their test programs. 

The LXI Simulation tool (model 60-901) is a plug-and-play device, and engineers typically have it up and running within minutes. By simply connecting power and ethernet cords, downloading and installing free Pickering drivers and selecting the appropriate Pickering modules to test, engineers can run a simulation, and then easily re-program the tool to simulate different modules. These capabilities allow engineers to access thousands of modules within just a few clicks.

Degelijk.  Betrouwbaar. Kennispartner.

C.N. Rood is koploper in kennis en oplossingen op het gebied van test- en meetapparatuur. We onderscheiden ons met een persoonlijke en klantgerichte aanpak. Onze klanten zoeken vaak niet een product, maar een oplossing en wij hebben allemaal de gedrevenheid om mee te werken aan die oplossing. Wat wij het liefste doen: continu bezig zijn met de nieuwste ontwikkelingen op het gebied van test- en meetapparatuur. Nu, en in de toekomst. Want daar ligt nu eenmaal onze passie: het precies willen weten. Zo kunnen we onze klanten optimaal verder helpen.

Wij denken mee, adviseren en begeleiden onze klanten in het maken van de juiste keuze in hun test- en meetapparatuur. Mensen in verschillende sectoren vertrouwen op onze expertise en ons advies. We werken voor overheid, wetenschap, onderwijs, lucht- en ruimtevaart- en auto-industrie in Noord-Europa en de Benelux. Daaronder bevinden zich vele prestigieuze en vooraanstaande organisaties. Vanuit vestigingen in Stockholm (Zweden), Zoetermeer (Nederland) en Zellik (België) werken meer dan veertig toegewijde professionals aan oplossingen variërend van communicatie-testapparatuur en algemene test- en meetinstrumenten tot apparatuur voor data-acquisitie, logistieke automatisering, aangevuld met consultancy, training en turnkeyoplossingen.

We hebben een historie die teruggaat tot 1938. Onze oprichter, Cornelis Nicolaas Rood, was destijds een pionier in moderne elektronica. Onze mensen bevinden zich ook anno 2021 graag in de frontlinie van technologische ontwikkelingen. Op onze eigen manier leveren we zo een bijdrage aan belangrijke maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Bijvoorbeeld in energietransitie, quantum computing, medische technologie, de zelfrijdende auto, de auto op zonne-energie en alle andere deeptech die bijdraagt aan de schonere en betere wereld van morgen.

Daarom letten we ook op onze eigen impact op het milieu en klimaat. Aangezien wij vooral een adviserende functie hebben is onze eigen milieu-footprint gering. Vanzelfsprekend zien we wel toe op een zo duurzaam mogelijke productie van de apparatuur die wij verkopen en zorgen we voor een maatschappelijk verantwoorde bedrijfsvoering. Al onze producten kopen we uitsluitend in bij gecertificeerde fabrikanten die werken met herleidbare en verantwoorde grondstoffen. Gebruikte apparatuur wordt kosteloos opgehaald en gerecycled.

Het zijn maar een paar voorbeelden om duidelijk te maken dat we hechten aan een langetermijnvisie op de wereld om ons heen. Want juist met een geschiedenis van meer dan tachtig jaar kun je goed vooruitkijken. Daarom blijven we ook vooroplopen. Onze brede en diepe technische kennis van test- en meetapparatuur, in combinatie met onze persoonlijke connectie met onze klanten, maken ons uniek in de markt. C.N. Rood is uw degelijke en betrouwbare kennispartner voor test- en meetapparatuur!
