VTI Instruments - SMX-5xxx series of General Purpose Switches
The SMX-5xxx product family includes the SMX-5001 and SMX-5002.
The VTI SMX-5xxx Series of general purpose switches deliver exceptional performance and reliability by implementing extensive signal path shielding, isolation and built-in health monitoring. Embedded virtual schematic control simplifies setup and debugging, allowing all relays to be engaged independent of application software and device drivers.
Ideally suited for a wide range of discrete signal switching, the SMX-5xxx Series provides uncompromised measurement integrity ideal for the most demanding aerospace, defense and automotive automated test equipment (ATE) applications.

The APEX Turbine Data System (DS) is the next generation of data acquisition, control, setup, and online analysis. It reliably acquires time-synchronized data from a network of digitizers, regardless of sample rate or sensor type.

The award winning VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP™) provides customers with a level of modularity for instruments that is unmatched in the industry. The VMIP™ makes a single VXIbus card slot three times more powerful than single device solutions. Each VMIP™ instrument can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ devices for added flexibility.
