Across many industries, manufacturers are transitioning from standalone bench top to modular test platforms. For some, the decision towards modular is essential as it helps to address the test challenges of multi-channel technologies, cost and time to market. 
Multiple channels are supported in a compact space without duplicity of displays and front panels. The open system allows engineers the flexibility to configure modules from different vendors and to integrate a range of instruments. Scalability of modular systems is an attractive feature for multi-channel applications as it allows for synchronized, phase-coherent measurements.
