VXI Backplanes
VXI is a prime example of the old saying, “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” Since the late 1980’s, VXI has been a trusted standard in the world of testing solutions as a more compact and robust predecessor of the GPIB standard. Arising initially to soothe the need for a more compact and integral open testing standard, VXI is still as necessary and impactful as it was more than 30 years ago.

Powered VXI Crates
VXI – (VME eXtension for Instrumentation): The demand for a compact, both flexible and fast industry-standard instrument-on-a-card architecture has driven the development of the VXI standard. The modular form factor, high bandwidth, and commercial success of the VMEbus made it particularly attractive as an instrumentation platform. The tremendous popularity of GPIB also made it attractive as a model for device communication and instrument control protocols.

VXI Chassis
The first VXIbus specification was introduced to the test and measurement community in 1987 and was initially developed to provide a card-based instrumentation platform for applications that required high density and high performance. The platform continues to thrive today by leveraging off the original specifications which define the necessary physical (real estate/cooling) and electrical standards for demanding applications and has established itself as the ‘time-tested bus you can trust’ for requirements that must be supported in excess of ten-fifteen years.

Instrument Mainframe
PI-11008
The PI-11008 Instrument Chassis was designed to accommodate the power and noise requirements of some of Pulse Instruments analog instrument cards. These instrument cards, such as the PI-41401, PI-41702 and others supply signal outputs that require more current from the -12 V supply than available in a standard chassis. Therefore this chassis has a larger -12 V power supply that provides 2.5 Amps.

9050 VXI - 50 Module Solution for VXI cards
The 9050 VXI Solution is designed for use with VPC's pre-wired interconnect adapters on the top tier and discrete wiring modules on the bottom tier. The receiver opens downward via hinges to give the user access to the instruments in the rack. A microswitch, which comes standard, allows for shut off any power going through the system before removing the ITA. Using a plug and play plate or a flange kit allows for easy mounting of the receiver to any 19” rack system.
