Pulse Instruments Co.

In 2000, Pulse Instruments celebrated its 25th anniversary in Imager Testing. In 1975, Infrared and CCD Imager technologies were in their infancy, and test equipment for Infrared and CCD imagers was non-existent. Pulse Instruments introduced the first commercially available tester. Since then, our equipment has become the industry standard for characterization and R&D testing.

The recent explosion in image sensing devices with multiple outputs has driven demand for low cost, scalable A/D data acquisition systems. We are continuing our commitment to innovation, and in October of 2002 Pulse Instruments announced the PI-3105 Multi-Channel Data Acquisition System.

The underlying theme of all Pulse Instruments' products is flexibility. The CompactPCI architecture of our newest equipment and the "mainframe" concept of our 4000 series allow the instruments and systems to be easily configured to meet your immediate and future needs. Our new PI-3105 has low-cost, swappable A/D modules for reconfiguration in the field. This concept has enabled us to produce instruments and fully integrated test systems that are ideal for research and development, characterization and low-cost production testing.

All of Pulse Instruments equipment is designed for maximum compatibility and interoperability. The same PI-PAT timing files that program a 15 year-old PI-5800A will run on our newest PI-2005 Pattern Generator. The PI-2005 outputs will drive our newest CompactPCI clock drivers as well as our industry-standard 4000 series instruments. We have products, such as the PI-31001 PI-Bus Interface card and PI-Convert software, to ensure that your existing investments in Pulse Instruments equipment continue to serve you for years to come.
