Focused Configuration Catalyst

The Catalyst FC is the newest Catalyst Family member. The device expands the Catalyst Family of testers, making it the only ATE platform available that covers such a wide spectrum of test performance and functionality at the lowest cost of test. The new device offers the same level of advanced analog and mix-signal instrumentation as the other family members. But with just 64 digital pins, the focused configuration provides cutting-edge wireless/RF and automotive testing capabilities with the best cost of test.

The device maximizes Bluetooth wireless device testing with the company's MicroWAVE6000 instrumentation suite, which is designed for the high growth cellular phone market and new wireless communications standards. It is well suited for markets with lower digital pin count requirements, such as certain devices in wireless/RF and automotive markets.
