Next Generation Switching: Density, Price, and SPECS

For design engineers, the ultimate goal of development is a superior product, unmatched in innovation. For test or automated test equipment (ATE) engineers, the development of that same product might have very different ramifications – more often than not, innovation is required to test innovation. Luckily, the test and measurement industry has supplied highly accurate and responsive instrumentation for years, allowing the necessary verification checks to be made. There are many different platforms on which these measurements can be taken, and thus begins a significant amount of comparison shopping to meet the design needs of the test systems.
