System is LXI/VXI Hybrid

September 20th, 2007

The VXI Technology EX400 is a hybrid systems developer’s kit designed to allow ATE and data acquisition system architects to integrate VXI-based subsystems within an LXI instrumentation network.

The core of the EX400 is a 1000 Watt, 13-slot VXI mainframe with industry-leading cooling capacity and a slot 0 module that incorporates a gigabit Ethernet interface that is compliant with the LXI Class A standard. The EX400 provides an open-architecture, VXI-based framework for distributing and synchronizing high channel count measurements through the LXI class definition. Customers can also realize simplified maintenance through an embedded web page with built-in interactive control utilities that are accessible across the world.

Existing VXIbus customers can integrate the EX400 into test system designs that include LXI products and create a single network of VXI and LXI instruments. The VXIbus interface comes with industry standard VISA software to ensure that existing application code can be reused with minimal or no modifications.
