Today's rapidly changing development environments demand flexibility in all aspects of design. The next generation of software-defined test instruments area key element in cost control, time to market, design flexibility and standards evolution.

There are many challenges in addressing instrumentation needs for emerging communications signal formats. Time-to-market pressure drives R&D development to begin before the wireless standards have been finalized. This, in turn, drives demand for early R&D test instrumentation solutions for the given wireless standard, while providing the flexibility to accommodate changes in the signal format as the standard evolves.
