The MTS Systems / DSP Technology VX4604 is a high-performance VXI module engineered for data acquisition and control in modular test and measurement systems. Built on VXIbus architecture, it delivers synchronized signal collection and real-time digital signal processing for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, and industrial automation where precision and reliability are critical.
Technical Specifications
• VXIbus Architecture: Operates within the VXIbus standard with P1 and P2 connectors; P1 carries the data transfer bus while P2 expands to full 32-bit capacity
• Clock Bus: 10 MHz clock bus integrated into backplane
• Backplane Features: Includes analog sumbus, local bus, and trigger buses for multi-module coordination
• Module Form Factor: C-size VXI card—the most common configuration—providing optimized balance between board area and functionality
• High-Speed Data Acquisition: Capable of precise, synchronized signal collection across multiple channels
• Digital Signal Processing: Real-time DSP technology for advanced signal manipulation and analysis
• Control Capabilities: Enables precise management and synchronization of test operations
• EMC/EMI Compliance: VXIbus-specified radiated and conducted EMC limits for interference-free operation
• Thermal Management: Cooling and airflow specifications follow VXIbus standards with typical 10°C temperature rise target
– Key Features
• Modular architecture supports system scalability and customization
• Standard VXIbus connectors enable integration into existing VXI chassis
• Word Serial Protocol support for message-based communication between modules
• High-fidelity data transfer across the VXIbus backplane
– Typical Applications
Aerospace and defense test systems, industrial automation control, complex data acquisition environments requiring synchronized multi-module operation.
– Compatibility & Integration
Connects to host controllers via standard interfaces including GPIB/VXI, MXI2/VXI, USB 2.0/VXI, FireWire/VXI, LAN/VXI, and PCIe/VXI depending on VXI Slot 0 configuration.
