Matrix maintenance in PXI with BIRST

Apr 21, 2011 | David Owen, Business Development Manager.

Switching systems, and in particular matrices are a key part of many tests systems, they allow a single core set of test equipment to be connected to the UUT, saving the cost of duplicating test equipment. That places the switching matrix in a very vulner...

A New (Better) Approach to Tin Whisker Mitigation

Mar 03, 2011 | Craig Hillman, Gregg Kittlesen, and Randy Schueller

Most of the electronics industry by now knows about tin whiskers. They know whiskers are slim metallic filaments that emanate from the surface of tin platings. They know these filaments are conductive and can cause shorts across adjacent conductors. And they know that these shorts can cause some really bad failures (see nepp.nasa.gov/whisker/ for a list longer than you need). But, with all of this knowledge, the industry is still struggling on how to predict and prevent these "Nefarious Needles of Pain"....
