Abstract
The VXIbus architecture is reviewed, along with the history and current status of the VXIbus specification. How VXIbus instruments relate to the existing IEEE-488 (GPIB) instrumentation standard through an interface board that links the two technologies together is described. By understanding the fundamental VXIbus concepts and how they relate to familiar GPIB concepts, the ATE (automatic test equipment) system integrator can clearly understand how modular VXI instruments can be used today and integrated with traditional stand-alone instruments and development tools to build state-of-the-art ATE systems.<>
