Spectrum-9100™
High-Performance Integrated Functional Test Platform
The Spectrum-9100 is a fully integrated functional test system for factory, depot, and intermediate test applications. It’s the “go to” tester for users needing a mix of digital, analog, mixed-signal, and bus test capabilities across a wide range of products—from legacy boards to advanced systems.
An open, standards-based hardware and software architecture consists of fully developed, fully documented building blocks. These deliver the flexibility and scalability needed to speed test program set (TPS) development and simplify maintenance.
The Spectrum-9100 is a cost-effective test solution—the field-proven defense and aerospace standard for high-performance functional test. More than 300 systems are currently in use worldwide in factories and depots, as well as commercial avionics maintenance and repair facilities.
Advantages
