The Ametek / VTI Instruments / VXI Technology VM2716A is a 16-channel differential scanning voltmeter designed for high-precision voltage measurements in automated test equipment systems. Built around 4.5-digit resolution, this instrument delivers the measurement granularity required for detailed voltage analysis across multiple test points. The card-level architecture integrates directly into VXIbus chassis configurations, enabling distributed measurement capability within larger ATE frameworks.
Technical Specifications
• Channels: 16 differential
• Resolution: 4.5 digits
• Measurement Type: Differential voltmeter
• Interface: VXIbus
– Key Features
The differential input architecture rejects common-mode interference in multi-channel scanning applications. The 4.5-digit resolution balances measurement fidelity with acquisition speed for typical ATE workloads. Channel density—16 in a single module—reduces the number of cards required for complex test matrices.
– Typical Applications
The VM2716A supports production test environments where distributed voltage monitoring across circuit nodes must occur simultaneously. Applications include board-level functional testing, power supply characterization across multiple rails, and sensor array validation. The differential input configuration suits measurements in noisy industrial and manufacturing settings.
– Compatibility & Integration
The instrument operates within VXIbus system architecture, supporting modular ATE platform integration. VXIbus connectivity provides both measurement control and data flow within larger test frameworks. Existing VXI chassis installations and measurement systems using compatible bus protocols can incorporate this module directly.
