PXI Module, Fault Insertion

Fault Insertion modules let engineers deliberately introduce shorts, opens, or other wiring faults into a system. This is used to confirm safety and reliability under failure conditions.

Key specs include voltage and current handling, number of channels, and supported fault types. These determine what kinds of faults can be simulated safely.

In PXI, they synchronize with measurement modules so faults can be inserted and system response recorded automatically. They are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and medical device testing.
