The GX6188 is a 6U PXI, high density, GENASYS™ architecture switching card. The card provides the user with the ability to connect and interface resources to multiple UUT connections. The board consists of two matrices - a 104x8 and an 8x8 matrix. The GX6188 can connect to 104 UUT switching points, eight external resources and an eight-channel global bus via front panel connectors. Multiple GX6188 cards can be connected using the global bus. Like other GENASYS switch cards, the GX6188 features an integral, 3-dimensional switching architecture which provides the flexibility to connect test system resources to multiple UUT connections as well as supporting an expansion bus connection without sacrificing I/O matrix connections when building multiple switch card configurations. However, unlike other GENASYS switch cards that utilize the GX7016 / GX7017 backplane and its Switching Routers (SR) for global bus functionality and the GENASYS Rear Transition Module (RTM) for connections to system resources, the GX6188 combines all these functions (switch card, SR, and RTM) into a single 6U card. As a result, the GX6188 can be used in any 6U chassis with all I/O and bus connections available via front panel connections.
