Save Time and Money Developing Custom Microwave Solutions with COTS Tools



Irvine, CA - September 8, 2009 - VTI Instruments Corporation is pleased to announce a revolutionary solution that addresses the challenges associated with custom microwave design and deployment. The EX7000 Microwave Switching Subsystem provides an open platform COTS core that can be easily configured for a variety of custom applications.

With access to thousands of components and data sheets using VTI's Broadband Integrated Design Wizard, a custom design can be defined and configured in less than one day. This represents a true paradigm shift away from design methodologies used in the past. The finished subsystem is supplied with complete documentation to simplify long-term support and ensure product reusability.

"Quicker time-to-test is one of our key objectives when considering new product development activities," said Jon Semancik, VTI's Director of Marketing. "The EX7000 has been so successful because of its simplified subsystem design and reduced software integration activities - all in an open platform COTS solution."

All EX7000 subsystems leverage LXI, the Ethernet-based instrumentation interface standard, to ensure the highest level of connectivity and performance. An application-specific graphical user interface (GUI) is automatically generated from the design documents and ready for out-of-the-box operation with any web browser worldwide. Additionally, path-level instrument drivers based on the IVI-COM and IVI-C classes eliminate the need for custom software driver development and testing.
