Series-400 carriers

Last time buy is 12/31/2024

Limited Quantities

The Series-400 carriers is the legacy line of carriers. They are being discontinued. The Last Time Buy date is December 31, 2024 with limited quantities.

They can be programmed using the MX Foundation 3 API or the MAXIM 2 Windows GUI.

It is recommended to use the MAXPCIe 502 and MAXPXIe 500 carriers or the Flex devices. The MAXPCIe 502 and MAXPXIe 500 carriers can easily be used on bench duplicates using the Series-400 with no change, or almost no change, in software and cable designs. Contact us for more information.
