VXI

VXI Bus Interfaces
VME / VXI Bus Interfaces or VME / VXI Adapters allow the VME / VXI system to communicate with other VME / VXI devices or VME / VXI systems.

VXI Definition
VXI (VMEbus eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a platform created in 1987 by National Instruments and a Consortium of other companies in order to define a multivendor instrument-on-a-card standard for industrial and/or rugged applications. The VXIbus specifications combine the VMEbus with the popular GPIB to create a modular instrumentation VXIbus based platform to meet the needs of instrumentation applications in a common VXIbus based environment.

VXI Operating Systems
Symmetricom's VME/VXI time and frequency processor modules can be configured within a wide variety of computing environments (including Windows, Solaris, Linux, Unix, VxWorks, and more) and meet most interface requirements.

Symmetricom's VXI Bus Modules
Symmetricom's VME / VXI modules provide you with the capability to customize your systems with VME / VXI based interrupt driven algorithms, satisfying most VME / VXI timing requirements. In addition, Symmetricom's VME/VXI cards are configurable to provide precise time to a single VME / VXI computer, synchronize multiple interconnected VME / VXI computers, or act as a source for timing outputs.
Symmetricom's VME /VXI modules will synchronize a VME / VXI computer clock to an input reference (using IRIG or GPS) as well as act as a VME / VXI based synchronized IRIG time code generator for other connected boards or devices.

Symmetricom's VME / VXI product offerings are compatible with 6U high systems. These VME / VXI product offerings provide precision time and frequency reference to the host computer and peripheral data acquisition systems. Symmetricom's VME / VXI product offerings include a ruggedized configuration specifically tailored to support rugged, high vibration environments. Time is acquired from either with the GPS satellites or using supplied signals, typically IRIG B or IRIG A time codes.

Integration of the VME / VXI module is facilitated with optional drivers for several operating systems (including Windows, Solaris, Linux, Unix, VxWorks, and more).
