SMX Series
AMETEK VTI Instruments (AMETEK Programmable Power Inc.)
The SMX series is an extension of VTI’s award-winning EX1200 series switch family. Designed using the same core philosophy of high-density without compromising on performance, the SMX brings instrument grade switching capability to PXI Express for the first time. Our SMX switch cards encompass everything from power switching to the widest range of microwave switching in the PXI platform. Our drivers and support software provide standard operation in Windows, Linux, and LabView but add additional capability through our award winning GUI.

Power Switches
SMX-2002 (Power)
-
The SMX-2002 is the only switch module in its class with the ability to switch up to 16A. Some applications include: AC line power switching, switching of DC or AC power supplies, control or driving relays for industrial machines (robotics, numerical control machines), automotive engine control, and solenoid switching. Since this module typically switches power to the UUT or interface, the SMX-2002 includes failsafe pins on the front panel which can be configured to open all relays when a failsafe signal is activated. This approach can instantly removes all power to the UUT or interface.

PXI Express Data Acquisition Platform
Data Acquisition Module
PXI Express is the fastest data acquisition platform currently available with unmatched bandwidths in excess of 1 GB/s and latencies less than 1 µs. This makes PXI Express-based data acquisition systems ideal for data intensive applications like high-speed digitization, signal-generation, and communication interfaces where high sample rates and channel counts could choke other interfaces.
