UK distribution deal reached for instruments

Amplicon has signed a UK-wide agreement with Geotest to supply and support its range of PXI and bench top instruments.

The addition of Geotest as a key supplier expands Amplicon's capability to deliver complete PXI test systems.

The Geotest range includes Smart PXI chassis, controllers and bus expanders for PXI, PCI and PCI Express.

A range of 3U and 6U PXI instruments are also available for generating and measuring signals.

Output devices include DC voltage and power, arbitrary waveform generators and programmable resistor cards.

Measurement instruments include frequency counters, RF power and multimeters.

There are also high-speed digital I/O cards which support vector rates up to 200MHz, high-current relay cards and a switch matrix card that can support up to 384 switch cross-points.

Geotest manufactures a range of stand-alone test instruments such as the GP1551 series of pulse generators, that are ideal as replacements for products no longer available from other manufacturers.

Darren Saxby, Sales Manager for Amplicon's Measurement and Control Group said "This agreement is a huge boost to our PXI and test systems capability".

"We are now able to offer an exciting and even more competitive range to integrators and manufacturers".
