PathWave leverages Keysight's proven market-leading expertise to ensure the consistency, accuracy, and integrity of measurements. The software platform provides customers with flexible and immediate access to the design and test tools they need, precisely when they need them. Interoperability between design and test tools and advanced data management significantly accelerate the product development cycle by enabling the reuse of measurements and test plans from one stage of the process to another.
“Most product development lifecycles are disconnected, leading to design and testing difficulties at every stage and slowing down innovation and product launches,” explains Jessy Cavazos, Director of the Measurement and Testing sector at Frost & Sullivan. “As a leader in design and testing, Keysight applies its unique expertise to unify the design and testing workflow across the entire product lifecycle with a consistent user experience and common data formats that accelerate innovation and enable customers to launch products quickly and with quality.”.
PathWave is an open, scalable, and predictive software platform that integrates hardware and software across all phases of the product development workflow. It combines design software, instrument control, and application-specific test software in an open development environment, enabling users to rapidly create high-performance solutions.
