Agilent M9037A PXIe Controller

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the M9037A, a fast, high-performance PXIe controller.

The controller’s 12GB/s maximum data bandwidth offers capability for complex or multi-chassis systems and secure environments.

With CPU processing speed and a front-panel removable 240GB SSD, it provides the performance, reliability and security required for aerospace/defense, RF, semiconductor, wireless communications, general-purpose, electronic functional test, or virtually any PXIe modular test system application.

The 12GB/s data bandwidth from the CPU to the PXIe backplane switch is achieved using the PCIe with a potential of up to 24 PCIe lanes. Based on Intel Corp.‘s i7-4700EQ extended life processor, the M9037A provides a fast CPU computational measurements available. It offers a front panel x8 PCIe high-bandwidth connection to external PCIe devices, such as a second PXIe chassis or a RAID storage device, providing a unique alternative to using a valuable PXIe instrument slot.

“Our next-generation controller demonstrates Agilent’s ongoing commitment to develop powerful, new products, adding features to our modular platform,” said Agilent’s Mark Pierpoint, VP and GM of the softare and modular solutions division. “By incorporating the fastest processor available, we are accelerating our customers’ application capabilities and allowing them to easily connect to multiple chassis, external storage devices, and other modular and LXI instruments. This results in improvements in throughput and cost savings.”

The M9037A is available. The base price is $6,950.
