Get More Out of Your Test Equipment with Matrix Box

  • Interconnect your test article and test equipment with our matrix box to increase the capabilities of your test setups.

  • Transform any test equipment into a test system with hundreds of test points.

Save cost on test equipment while increasing the number of channels

  • Every Test Equipment/DAQ Hardware has a limited number of measurement channels

  • Having separate test equipment for each channel or device is cost prohibitive 

  • With Matrix Box, you can connect a single piece of test equipment to multiple channels, allowing you to test more without needing extra equipment.

  • Save money by reducing the number of expensive test devices you need to purchase

  • It's like having a smart connector that lets you test multiple devices at once, making testing more cost-effective and efficient.

Expand your test equipment capabilites

  • Connect your test equipment to hundreds of test points without any manual action required

  • Keep your existing test equipment by simply integrating a matrix box between your test equipment and the test article  

  • Modular Design allows for any number of test equipment or test points through card slot design

Integrated Features

  • Up to 4 independent buses allow interconnecting test equipment with your test article through independent paths

  • FunTest Integration - select any test point with a single command

  • DMM and probe for basic measurement or if manual measurement is needed

  • Digital Inputs and Outputs to control your test setup

  • Power Supplies - 5V/5A, 24V/1.1A, and 48V/1.6A

Create Dynamic Test Setups With Ease

  • Four 2-wire buses provide incredible flexibility in creating connections between test equipment and the device under test.

  • These buses act like versatile pathways, allowing you to establish any desired interconnection between your test equipment and the devices being tested.

  • Easily configure and adapt the connections without the need for additional complex hardware.

  • It's like having a customizable bridge that seamlessly connects your test equipment to the devices, giving you the freedom to set up various testing scenarios with ease and efficiency.

How Does It Work?

See how you can use Matrix Box to create an automated test setup without the need for expensive DAQ hardware.

The test setup is able to perform 4-wire measurements on dozens of test points and distribute power & communication to DUT.

All of this is accomplished by using only two types of cards inserted into the Matrix Box chassis

Connect Your Test Equipment

  • Connection any data acquisition system to MX2400 2-wire buses with a single card

  • In the example below the card is used to:

    • Connect LIN communication to one of the 2-wire buses

    • Connect digital multimeter to two 2-wire buses for 4-wire measurements

    • Connect DC power supply to the remaining available bus

Connect Your Device Under Test (DUT) 

  • Connect up to hundreds of your DUT connections to MX2400 2-wire buses

  • In the example below 3 Test Point cards are used:

    • Left: This card is used to scan connections on DUT to enable 4-wire measurement using DMM​

    • Middle: This card is used to distribute the DC power to DUT. Every connection can be controlled individually.

    • Right: This card is used to distribute the LIN communication. Every connection can be controlled individually

  • To simplify hardware integration even further Matrix Box offers digital I/O 

  • Send signals to control external switches or signal lights

  • Detect signals (physical buttons, interlocks) to allow the operator to control the test setup

  • Matrix box chassis has built-in 16 Digital I/O. Add I/Os by inserting additional cards
