VXIbus--A Modular Standard for Test & Measurement

VXIbus Objectives

VXIbus Objectives The goal of the VXIbus is to define a technically sound modular instrument standard based on the VMEbus (IEEE-STD-1014) that is open to all manufacturers and is compatible with present industry standards. VXIbus is an abbreviation for "VMEbus eXtensions for Instrumentation."
The VXIbus specification details the technical requirements of VXIbus compatible comporients such as mainframes, backpIanes, power supplies and modules. The specification also provides for interconnecting and operating different manufacturers' products within the same module mainframe (also known as a chassis).
