I've recently started working with a PXI rack containing various instruments - DMM, Signal Generator, switch matrix, PSU. This could be expanded in the future depending upon requirements.
Each of these instruments has its own type of connector - 4mm plugs, BNC, terminal block.
I've 'hard wired' my test fixture to each instrument and have developed a test sequence which is all working as I need it. But now I need to deploy this to allow production testing, but connecting the correct wire to the correct place on the instrument would not be easy, and mistakes could be made.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an interface panel between the PXI instrumentation and the test fixture. Something where I can simply plug-in the fixture, and the correct connections are made, rather than having to make each individual connection?
