Pickering Interfaces has added a PXIe version of its USB 2.0 Hub module which provides the same capabilities as its popular PXI USB 2.0 Hub.
This USB 2.0 Hub is a single-slot 3U PXIe module that consolidates an eight-port USB 2.0 hub and USB data/power switching to offer a controlled connection between the backplane and USB products. Each port can connect and disconnect power and data paths individually, simulating multiple connection faults.
The module can be used to join a USB device under test or USB test equipment to the test system with no reliance on the controller’s USB ports, removing the requirement for free-standing powered hubs in a test system. It also gives a simple way of extending the range of test equipment supported by PXI-based test systems to incorporate USB power meters, USB data acquisition systems and USB scopes.
