The North Atlantic VXI-5388-S3420 is a C-size VXI synchro/resolver processor that combines simulation and angle measurement on a single module. It delivers 0.001° resolution across a 0–359.999° range with ±0.015° accuracy, tracking rates to 150°/sec, and 2-second settling time on 180° steps. The card operates via VXIbus message-based serial communication and includes auto phase correction up to 80° between stator and rotor inputs.
