Stop Mapping Signal Paths in Spreadsheets: Introducing Test System Architect
Design, configure, and visualise your entire test architecture—before you even touch a piece of hardware.
Pickering Interfaces has just launched Test System Architect, a free, online graphical toolset designed to solve the "hidden" cost of automated test systems: the engineering and integration effort.
As Kyle Voosen, Product Marketing Manager at Pickering, puts it: "Hardware is often less than half the total cost. The real challenge is the integration."
What makes Test System Architect a game-changer?
It’s the first dedicated graphical design tool for signal switching and cabling. It doesn’t just give you part numbers; it speaks the language of the test engineer—topology and connectivity.
Key Features include:
* End-to-End Workflow: Integrates schematic design, product selection, and cable design into one cohesive platform.
* Error Elimination: Built-in validation and connectivity checks prevent costly hardware rework.
* Automated Documentation: Generate wiring schematics, pin-to-pin lists, and BOMs in seconds, not hours.
* Cloud Collaboration: Securely share designs with colleagues and systems integrators worldwide.
* Legacy Migration: A dedicated tool to help transition obsolete VXI and GPIB systems to modern PXI architectures.
Beyond the Chassis
With Test System Architect, you can incorporate third-party instruments and modelled Devices Under Test (DUTs) to create a true digital twin of your test bench.
Whether you're working in aerospace, automotive, or semiconductor test, this tool aims to slash your time-to-market and simplify long-term system maintenance.
