The EV500 Test System is the industry’s first self-contained tester based on the AXIe standard. It provides all of the power, cooling, and device loadboard interfacing required for up to 5 AXIe instrument cards. The EV500 can be used as a standalone test system or as a rack mountable subsystem upgrade for existing test systems. Device loadboards use high-density direct connections to the AXIe instrument cards and can easily be interchanged as required for different devices.
The EV500 test system can be used for device characterization as well as production testing.
