Test ... and Maintenance Hardware Platform Software Applications Compliance Keysight soft front panels provide easy-to-use instrument communications. The PXI matrix switch graphical user interface guides developers through module setup so users can quickly configure the switch states. Switch control is also possible through the wide selection of instrument program interfaces. The matrix switch modules are PXI compliant with a J1 connector and can be used in PXI chassis with cPCI (J1), PXI-1 (J1 only), or PXIe hybrid slot connectors. The PXI format offers high performance in a small, rugged package. It is an ideal deployment platform for many automated test systems. In addition, a wide array of complementary PXI products are currently available, such as multimeters, waveform generators, local oscillators, digitizers, and RF switch modules. Software Platform IO Libraries Keysight IO Libraries Suite offers fast and easy instrument connections and now extends to modular instruments. IO Libraries Suite 16 adds support for PXI, helping you display all of the modules in your system, whether they are PXI, PXIe, or AXIe, as well as view information about installed software. In addition, the new version allows you to more easily find the right driver and start module soft front panels directly with Keysight Connection Expert. Drivers Keysight provides instrument drivers that work with your choice of software, saving time and preserving software and hardware investments. Keysight modular instruments come with IVI-COM, IVI-C, and LabVIEW software drivers that work in the most popular test and measurement development environments including LabVIEW, MATLAB, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio C, C++, C#, VEE, and Visual Basic. With a broad selection of drivers already included, any Keysight PXI matrix switch can be swapped out, replaced, or upgraded with the latest version, requiring only minimal software adjustments. Easy software integration In addition, application code examples are included for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, and MATLAB, providing switch set-up and basic functionality. These application code examples are easily modified to quickly integrate the switch module into your measurement system. Figure 1.
