Introduction to Programmable Resistors for Sensor Simulation in Automated Test Systems
Learn about our PXI & PCI Programmable Resistor modules that can be used in many applications to simulate for instance resistive sensors, such as those used for temperature, strain, light, force and level measurement. The resistors enable you to build cost reductions into your test system design without having to physically simulate the environment of the sensor.
Advantages of these Programmable Resistors include: replaces the need for real sensors, no need to physically simulate sensors environment, allowing you to reuse between test applications and giving you accuracy, speed, and repeatability.
An additional advantage - the physical complexity of the test set-up can be simplified because you are potentially reducing the amount of cabling and discrete components required and the simulation is confined to test rack space.
