VTI Instruments - VM/VMIP series (VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform)
The award winning VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP™) provides customers with a level of modularity for instruments that is unmatched in the industry. The VMIP™ makes a single VXIbus card slot three times more powerful than single device solutions. Each VMIP™ instrument can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ devices for added flexibility
The VMIP™ is designed for high performance instrumentation, (for example 6.5 digit DMMs, 1 ns counter/timers, 50 MSa/s AWG), and supports all aspects of the VXI specification including access to all seven power supply lines, TTLbus triggers, and interrupts. Each VMIP™ product is an independent VXIbus device with its own unique logical address (ULA) and VXIplug&play drivers.
Note that when ordering or configuring a VMIP module, a VM9000 carrier is required. It is capable of holding up to three different VMIP instruments in a single slot carrier. Individual VMIP instruments cannot be ordered without a carrier to mount it into.
The VMIP™ is an open-platform, allowing anyone to design a product that can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ instruments found VTI Instruments or from other suppliers. To aid in development, VTI Instruments offers a complete prototyping module (VM7000) that allows custom instruments/circuitry to be integrated into the VMIP™ family.
More than 20 unique instrument modules are available on the platform, bringing robust performance and design flexibility to ATE systems. VMIP™ products are the choice of many system developers with over 1000 VM9000 base units shipped per year. VMIP™ products have enabled designers of the following systems to leverage off the most popular modular mezzanine platform on the market:
- Boeing 777 NxGen
- Lockheed LMSTAR Avionics
- Raytheon STEP Missile Testers
- International Trucking ECM EITS
- Dell Computer ESS Testing
- Schlumberger Drill Head PCB
- Delphi R&D
