R&S®TS-CSP Communication System Panel

Integrating Instruments into Production Testing with Communication System Panel TS-CSP

The use of automatic test systems for functional tests and final testing in the production of electronic products require a multitude of test DUT fixtures, power supplies and stimulating signals. Communication System Panel TS-CSP was developed for the use in production test systems with the aim to transmit signals between DUTs and measuring devices efficiently and at low cost.Testing several DUTs simultaneously is possible thanks to flexible scaling and the high number of channels available in TS-CSP.

Efficient project implementation

The development costs arising from setting up, maintaining and modifying test systems can be reduced significantly with the use of TS-CSP. Instead of a multitude of cables connecting the DUT fixture with the measuring devices, various relay boxes and even data acquisition cards and power supplies, switching matrix modules are used for DUT signal distribution. Two types of enclosures are available to accommodate either two or five switching matrix modules. This allows economical solutions consisting of TS-CSP plus the required measuring devices also for small production test systems.

The system components may be used in:

• Functional test systems for telecommunication products such as mobile phones, cordless terminal equipment and the associated base stations
• Production testers for products in automation, sensor technology and telemetry
• Automotive test systems
• EMV/EMI test systems as RF switching matrix
• Lab test sets
