Simplify Automated Test System Design with Pickering’s Free Test System Architect

Designing an automated test system can be complex and time-consuming. From selecting the right hardware to mapping signal paths and designing cable assemblies, engineers often rely on multiple tools and manual processes that can introduce errors and delay development.

Pickering Interfaces’ Test System Architect (TSA) simplifies this process with a free, online graphical toolset that helps engineers design, visualize, and document complete automated test systems from concept to deployment.

TSA brings together several powerful design capabilities within one integrated platform:

• System Configuration: Select and configure PXI, PXIe, and LXI/USB chassis alongside switching, simulation, and instrumentation modules.
• Schematic Design: Create detailed signal path schematics, incorporating Pickering modules, third-party instruments, and devices under test.
• Automated Cable Design: Streamline cable assembly design and generate detailed documentation, reducing manual effort and potential wiring errors.
• Microwave Switch Design: Configure complex RF and microwave switching systems and evaluate signal path performance before committing to hardware.

Beyond design, TSA supports secure cloud storage, version control, and collaboration with colleagues and Pickering engineers, helping teams manage projects more efficiently.

Whether developing a new automated test system or modernizing existing equipment, Test System Architect provides a streamlined approach to system design, helping engineers save time, reduce complexity, and improve accuracy.
