Product overview

The R&S®TSVP is the open automated test equipment (ATE) platform from Rohde & Schwarz, built on PXI Express, PXI-1, CompactPCI and CAN bus and widely used in automotive electronics and industrial production testing. Three chassis versions are available: the R&S®ExpressTSVP (PXIe/PXI-1, 21 slots, for flexible use of third-party PXIe modules), the R&S®CompactTSVP (cPCI/PXI, 14 peripheral slots) and the R&S®PowerTSVP (CAN bus, 16 slots, dedicated to high-power and switching applications). The highlight is the analog measurement bus, which routes measurement signals between slots inside the chassis with no external wiring. A single chassis holds up to 990 channels, and a second chassis extends that to 2,430. The R&S®GTSL software library is included and supports analog in-circuit test (ICT), boundary scan (BS) and functional test (FCT).

Key features

  • An open, modular test platform based on PXIe®/PXI® and CompactPCI, into which third-party cPCI/PXI/PXIe modules integrate
  • Three chassis versions: ExpressTSVP (PXIe), CompactTSVP (cPCI/PXI) and PowerTSVP (CAN bus, high-power switching)
  • The analog measurement bus routes measurement signals dynamically between slots inside the chassis with no external wiring, improving signal quality and keeping ground loops out
  • Outstanding scalability: up to 990 channels in a single chassis and 2,430 across two, for high-pin-count, high-current ATE
  • Floating analog and digital instruments for high signal quality; the rear-I/O concept feeds external signals in from the back of the chassis
  • A mass interconnect interface swaps application-specific fixtures quickly without derating the instruments
  • Handles high-power signals up to 100 V / 50 A, with built-in current measurement (nA up to 50 A across 20 ranges)
  • Built-in self-test and in-system calibration, supporting high factory availability around the clock
  • The complete R&S®GTSL / R&S®EGTSL software library, based on IVI standards, with instrument soft panels, a signal routing library and debugging tools

Typical applications

  • Automotive electronics production testing: telematics control units (TCU), car access (RKE/PEPS), zone control units (ZCU), high performance computers (HPC) and wireless battery management systems (w-BMS)
  • Board-level and end-of-line (EoL) functional testing, combined with R&S RF instruments for integrated test
  • Analog in-circuit test (analog ICT), boundary scan test and functional test (FCT)
  • Industrial development and manufacturing, from engineering verification (EVT) and design verification (DVT) through production verification (PVT) to mass production (MP)
  • High-pin-count, high-current switching applications (the PowerTSVP, for instance, for high-power load and supply switching)
  • Production and functional testing of electronic components for communications technology, IoT and aerospace and defense (A&D)
