CATS Overview
CATS Benefits | CATS Architecture | CATS Product Line
Fastek's Configurable Automated Test System (CATS) line of preconfigured, pre-engineered, modular testing systems that offer
advanced test, measurement, and control solutions in
standardized "off-the-shelf" configurable packages. 
Most projects utilizing pre-engineered products will require
no custom Fastek project engineering services.
Which industries can benefit from a CATS?
- The CATS is designed specifically to address Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural, Medical, and Avionics depot and
MRO test applications.
- Any customer that needs a test solution ready to go in WEEKS (not MONTHS).
What hardware platform do the CATS operate on?
- National Instruments (NI) cDaq, cRIO, or PXi
Test System Interfaces
Each Fastek CATS interface employs a configurable design that allows customization of the system using some of the platform's
standard connector options (sample connectors shown), without incurring the cost and design time typically associated
with a customized functional test system.
Connectors can be configured for power, signal or coaxial connections - providing the user with wide range of
supporting options.
