1. Automotive Seminar México
2015
May 18th to May 22nd
June 1st to June 5th

2. AGENDA:
 Electrical & functional testing challenges in your company
 VipeR : Functional Test - How to take advantage of Modular Test Systems

3. How to take advantage of Modular
Test Systems

4. What is PXI?
The PCI eXtensions for
Instrumentation (PXI)
modular instrumentation
architecture delivers a
rugged, PC-based, and
high-performance
measurement and
automation system.
The PXI Systems Alliance
(PXISA) is an industry
consortium that
promotes and maintains
the PXI Standard.

5. VXI or PXI?
Description PXIe VXI Benefit to YOU
Data transfer rate
up to 8GB/s (to system slot)
up to 4GB/s (slot to slot)
PXI-5 PXI Express hardware
specification
up to 320Mb/s
(VXIbus Spec, Rev 1.4)
Larger bandwidth for future
applications support
(e.g. infotainment,
telematics, radar)
Mainframe size 4U (M9018A) 8U (E8401A)
More rack space in system
for other instruments
(e.g. 2 PXI chassis in the
future, more power
supplies)
No. of slots in mainframe 18 slots (M9018A) 13 slots (up to C-Size)
More instruments can be
added to chassis improving
instrument density in
system

6. Why to use Modular
Instrumentation in
ATE Systems?
 Users standardize cards
and card cages, so they
can configure systems as
needed.
 Based on the PC
architecture, so software
is readily available.
 Lots of development
work is currently under
way on PXI cards.
 PXI is fast and costs less
than VXI.

14. Statistic shows that 1 out of 4 stolen vehicles are stolen by professional thieves. The
majority of vehicles are stolen by opportunistic thieves relying on finding older vehicles
that have ineffective security or no security at all.
Immobilizers have been mandatory in all new cars sold in
Germany since 1 January 1998
United Kingdom since 1 October 1998
Finland since 1998
Australia since 2001
Canada since 2007
