Switching for Test (VTI Instruments)

June 1, 2021
Choose high-quality switching early in the test-design process to ensure an efficient, compact, robust test system in which DC, AC, microwave, and RF inputs are delivered accurately to the device or devices under test.

High-quality switching in automated testing systems precisely delivers DC, AC, microwave, and RF inputs to the device under test for efficient, accurate testing in single-device tests or superstations. Consider switch specifications from the design stage along with system footprint, conductor spacing, signal type, switch types, number and configuration of test points, software, power supplies, and communications protocols in order to develop the most robust testing system. Read on to learn more about choosing a high-quality switching system.
