Adlink launches entry-level PXI/PXIe platforms

• PXES-2301, an all-hybrid, 6-slot compact PXIe chassis with system bandwidth up to 8 GB/s
• PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930, embedded controllers with Intel Celeron 2000E 2.2GHz processors delivering up to 50 per cent increase in computing power and as much as eight times the bandwidth of available market offerings

The new entry-level segment of PXI platforms completes ADLINK's PXI portfolio, which encompasses high-performance, mainstream and entry-level product classes benefitting a wide range of user profiles.

Tim Juan, Director of ADLINK's Measurement Product Centre says: "As a sponsor member of the PXI System Alliance, ADLINK has more than 15 years' PXI development experience. Having placed over 10k PXI/PXIe platform units market-wide. We're very happy to introduce these new entry-level PXI/PXIe platforms. ADLINK provides the most effective and worry-free PXI platforms for test and measurement startup users in all applications."

The PXES-2301 6-slot PXIe chassis provides all-hybrid peripheral slots for data throughput up to 8GB/s, optimisation for industry use with enhanced heat dissipation and maximum PXI platform stability, portability and flexibility of deployment with available rack-mount option and carrying handle, and ADLINK's ChassisWatch smart system monitoring control utility, reporting full chassis status including fan speed, system voltages and internal temperature.

Adlink's entry-level PXES-2301 supports a wide variety of applications, accepting installation of CompactPCI, PXI, CompactPCI Express, and PXI Express modules in any peripheral slot for flexibility. Compact construction, light 5.85kg weight, and carrying handle and rubber feet enable complete portability and half-rack size with efficient feature layout eases rack-mounting, such that even two PXES-2301 chassis can be accommodated in a single rack-mount system.

The PXES-2301 chassis is efficient and low maintenance, securing the entire system with cooling and alarm technologies that maximise PXI platform stability and increase the life of the chassis. In addition, with ADLINK's ChassisWatch smart system monitoring control utility, chassis power and temperature are tracked, adjusting fans accordingly and triggering alarms when user-configured limits are met, reducing maintenance cost and effort.

Adlink PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 PXI Express /PXI embedded controllers, based on the Intel Celeron 2000E 2.2GHz processor, deliver maximum system throughput at 8GB/s and 132MB/s, respectively, increased as much as eight times over that of similar product offerings. Pairing this superior performance with an unprecedented price point, the PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 provide substantial interface flexibility, including two DisplayPort connectors, allowing connection of two 4K UHD monitors at the same time with independent displays (dual display via two DP port only applicable on PXIS-3935), dual USB 3.0 connections for high-speed peripheral devices, dual GbE ports for connection to LXI instruments, and built-in GPIB connection for hybrid PXI-based testing systems control.

Adlink's PXIe-3935 and PXI-3930 significantly reduce maintenance burdens with easily replaceable battery, and upgradable storage and SODIMM modules. Backup BIOS also eases recovery in the event of a main BIOS crash. For more on these and other Adlink PXI/PXIe offerings, readers can visit www.adlinktech.com/pxi.
