Software pack now includes design cloud simulation services

The PathWave Software Suite now enables engineers to remove computational limitations across the workflow with cloud processing clusters to improve designs and device reliability while reducing project risk.

Keysight is launching five new and enhanced software solutions that leverage the power of cloud processing to address computational limitations throughout the design process.

Now equipped with design cloud simulation services, PathWave ADS 2021 software reduces simulation time, increases simulation test coverage and provides access to scalable hardware resources in the cloud. This new software solution eliminates barriers to developing high performance hardware products by enabling design engineers for mobile and computer chipsets to perform compute intense electromagnetic simulations with on-premise clusters or scalable cloud hardware and tackle large electromagnetic simulations that were previously unsolvable due to resource limitations.

The new architecture of PathWave Compliance Test software offers measurement disaggregation and integrates seamlessly into a test automation workflow along with test automation and data analytics software, enabling system test engineers to speed transmitter compliance tests by separating physical measurement from data processing in the cloud and run signal acquisition and measurement in parallel rather than in series reducing overall test time.

PathWave Test Automation software enables engineers to execute with speed, scale and ease with open and modular software. However, test engineers required to use multiple instruments have an added layer of difficulty resulting from the complex programming needed to connect these instruments. The new enhanced version of this software enables test engineers to easily optimize multiple instruments setups with resource arbiter and timing analyzer tools and seamlessly integrate with existing automated test system workflow to minimize setup time while allowing for scalability.

Enhancements to PathWave Test and Measurement Analytics software now enable design validation test (DVT) and production engineers to visualize and analyze measurement data in the cloud without the need to create spreadsheets. As a result, these engineers gain greater insight into data with a scalable, high-performance data repository to speed engineering decisions and fast and accurate test analysis and troubleshooting to accelerate both DVT and production testing.

PathWave Manufacturing Analytics software is Keysight’s Industry 4.0 big data advanced analytics platform that helps customers to improve product quality and manufacturing operations. Keysight has partnered with Kx to launch the new Workcell edition for today’s smart factories. Built on kdb+, the Kx Streaming Analytics platform enables customers to accelerate Industry 4.0 adoption by analyzing massive test data from production systems in real-time, providing automation and analytics for actionable insights in microseconds, while also reducing hardware costs.
