Advances in end-product performance demand that T&M technology keep pace.
Advances in communications technologies such as 5G, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), autonomous vehicles, IoT devices, and energy-storage devices are driving the demand for fast and more reliable test and measurement equipment and software. To meet those latest advancements, engineers and manufacturers are required to deliver high bandwidths, lower latencies, and additional performance benchmarks.
Verifying those latest products can be a daunting task using legacy T&M technologies, primarily if the products involve 5G and PCIe 4.0/5.0. The latest test and measurement platforms allow users to reduce the amount of time it takes to analyze parameters with greater efficiency and increased precision. Peruse the gallery to learn about several new platforms that can help achieve those goals and more.
