Automated Testing of Advanced, High-Performance, Point-to-Multipoint Radio Systems Using National Instruments Software and PXI Hardware Print

"NI hardware and software platforms provided the capability and flexibility to support this critical development by helping us efficiently develop a highly reliable test system that met all of the client requirements and a tight product release schedule."

– Stephen Patterson, CPE Systems

The Challenge:
Designing and developing a cost-effective test system that has component and unpowered testing, device programming, radio signal analysis and calibration, and no operator intervention for production testing of an advanced, high-performance, point-to-multipoint radio product used for remote Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network applications.

The Solution:
Creating a test system based on the NI PXI platform and NI LabVIEW, NI TestStand, and NI Switch Executive software to connect to the unit under test (UUT) using a pneumatic test fixture, including custom RF screening for the RF sections to provide a high-performance RF test solution.
