Series 7000TM PIXIE switches represent ASCOR's newest entry into the PC controlled Automated Test Equipment (ATE) marketplace. The Series 7000 product line offers the same high quality, low noise designs for both the PXITM user and the CompactPCITM user that have made ASCOR switch products the industry benchmark in VXI. 7000 switching

Unless otherwise specified, the Series 7000 PIXIE switches incorporate coaxially shielded relays in all of the different matrices and multiplexer configurations. Additionally, every Series 7000 card design includes separate analog and digital ground planes.

While you may think that a "switch is just a switch," remember that when you incorporate a switch into your ATE or data collection environment, the switch becomes the "gate" for all measurements after it. You cannot measure any signal greater than that signal that gets through the switch. Ideally, the best switch is no switch. And we view all of our switch designs with an eye to provide a switch path that is so quiet that the device measuring the signal passing through the switch thinks that there is no switch there at all.
