ATE

ATE by the Numbers

So, have you finally decided to build your next PXI system yourself? Well, if you are, read on. Building your own test system can be very rewarding, both from a professional standpoint as well as from a support standpoint, as you will know the system intimately. You can also potentially, with emphasis on potentially, save the cost of a system integrator. In this article, Bob will review the sequence of events and the questions to ask when building a test system
