New Keysight PathWave platform enables customers
to accelerate innovation and product development from concept through manufacturing and
deployment
Santa Rosa, California, Jan. 30, 2018 – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS),
the leading provider of hardware, software and services for electronic product design,
test, and optimization, today unveiled
PathWave, the industry's first software
platform that integrates design, test, measurement and analysis. As a result, PathWave
enables customers to accelerate innovation and product development from concept through
manufacturing and deployment.
PathWave is based on Keysight's industry-leading, proven expertise to ensure consistency,
accuracy and measurement integrity. The software platform provides customers with flexible
and immediate access to the design and test tools they need, when they need them. The
interoperability of the design and test tools and advanced data management significantly
speeds the product development cycle, eliminating the need to re-create individual measurements
and test plans at each discrete stage of the process.
"Most product development lifecycles are disconnected, presenting design and test
challenges at every stage which slows innovation and product introductions," said Jessy
Cavazos, industry director, Test & Measurement, Frost & Sullivan. "As a leader
in design and test, Keysight is applying their unique expertise to unify the design and
test workflow throughout the product lifecycle with a consistent user experience and
common data formats that accelerates innovation and allows customers to deliver products
with speed and quality."
PathWave is an open, scalable, and predictive software platform that integrates hardware
and software at every stage in the product development workflow. It combines design software,
instrument control, and application-specific test software in an open development environment
allowing users to create high-performance solutions fast.
Open.
PathWave connects and integrates all design and test resources:
Provides open APIs which allow for simplified and rapid customization
Easily integrates best-in-class technology, including 3rd party hardware
Quickly connects compatible hardware to speed test workflows and enhance productivity
Scalable.
PathWave offers flexible computing power that scales to meet varying workloads:
Operates locally, in the cloud, or both to accelerate design and test computations
Processes test data across the workflow, locally or in the cloud
Saves transition time between development phases in your design and test workflow
Predictive.
PathWave provides powerful analytics tools for faster troubleshooting:
Quickly delivers comprehensive data analytics to identify trends and troubleshoot
issues
Monitors the utilization and health of each test resource for improved productivity
and scheduling
Captures and analyzes big data for faster, more effective workflow processes
"We all recognize the many societal benefits offered by technology, from cloud computing,
big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, to augmented reality, and various
types of mobile platforms," said Jay Alexander, senior vice president and chief technology
officer at Keysight Technologies. "But gaining the full value of these new technologies
requires deep expertise across the whole design and test workflow, plus the measurement
expertise to effectively implement them. Keysight is committed to continuously complementing
emerging technologies with solutions that help our customers overcome barriers to innovation
and establish efficient workflow processes."
PathWave offers a set of integrated software products for the entire design, test
and verification workflow. These products are connected, interoperable, and rapidly reconfigurable,
delivering the industry's most efficient workflow that enables customers to:
Allocate the right computing resources where and when needed
Evaluate collected data to optimize workflow
Ensure new hardware and software works with existing hardware to maximize ROI
Predict bottlenecks and rapidly correct to ensure efficient workflow process
Review project status from anywhere to maintain completion commitments

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
