Tester board for testing the PXIe connectivity of PXIe processor modules in a PXIe chassis. The board is used during production testing of PXIe processor modules. It comes in two variants: peripheral slot and system timing slot.

This auxiliary test board will be used to test the COM port, front panel trigger and the PXI bus signals. Two types of this new board will be installed: one in slot 2 (next to the the processor board, like the PXIeCOMe, while the other is in the system timing slot.

It has a front panel COM port (SubD9) through which it can be controlled by the PXIeCOMe COM port, and so can be used to also test the COM port of the PXIeCOMe.

It can be controlled using a serial GPIB like command set similar to the PXIeCOMe_tFPGA (Xilinx Vivado design for the hardware debugging project, and also used for the PTS project), but this auxiliary test board will be using an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller.
