High Speed Subsystem
Software-defined, Reconfigurable Solutions for High-Speed Digital Test Applications
HSSub™ is a software-defined family of PXIe Instrumentation that can be integrated and scaled to support digital test applications throughout the product life cycle from design verification to production and sustainment.
HSSub instruments are configured via software, allowing them to easily adapt to test requirement changes and eliminate the need to add instruments to support system upgrades. The modular and open architecture enables equipment reuse, easy addition and expansion of test capabilities, and cost-effective long-term deployment.
Adaptive and Flexible Architecture Supports A Wide Ranges of Test Applications
HSSub architecture consists of three main components:
- HSSub Apps Software controls HSSub instruments and provides reconfigurable test functionality and programming API for test development
- HSSub TriFlex™ Software integrates and manages HSSub instruments and support modules while coordinating communication to the host test system
- HSSub PXIe Reconfigurable Instruments programmable via HSSub App software to support a variety of test requirements and configurations
This architecture allows HSSub to perform complex, high-speed and low latency test interactions with UUT as a distributed capability in a test system or as an autonomous subsystem.
The HSSub family of hardware and software provides a wide range of digital test capabilities, standard or unique, that can support many commercial and defense test applications such as AESA radars, communication network and switches, satellites, electronic warfare, missile guidance and targeting systems, streaming data, videos and displays.
HSSub Instrument and HSSub App
- Reconfigurable Instruments – Reconfigurable FPGA-equipped serial bus and parallel digital instruments
- Reconfigurable Flexible IO Instruments (FIOXI) – Reconfigurable FPGA-equipped instruments with flexible physical interfaces to support many different I/O types
