VXI Resource Center

Well Conceived and Established
Time Tested and Thriving

The Bus You Can Trust for High Density Mil/Aero Applications

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.

  • The VXIbus was well conceived by leading test and measurement companies to solve the most demanding test applications.
  • The VXIbus is established. It has a 21+ year history of success and continues to be the leading modular instrument test platform.
  • The VXIbus is time tested, providing systems designers with security in the knowledge that their test platform will out live the device being tested.
  • The VXIbus is thriving and has proven that it has the flexibility to evolve with the development of new technologies.

Platform Independence - Obsolescence Insurance

System developers can choose from a variety of open-communication links including GPIB, Firewire, USB and most recently, Gigabit Ethernet/LXI. This versatility and adherence to backward compatibility has allowed system designers to utilize the latest advances in technology, while maintaining existing investment. This has allowed the VXIbus to achieve enormous success in applications where the instrumentation is required to outlive the products it is designed to test.
