The Tektronix VX1411A IntelliFrame is a 13-slot, C-size VXIbus mainframe that integrates GPIB-compatible instruments and provides centralized control for automated test environments. This mainframe delivers all necessary VXIbus voltages and signal distribution to support mixed-signal test configurations—digital, analog, or hybrid applications—within a single chassis. Built to VXIbus Specification 1.4 and VXIplug&play standards, the VX1411A enables scalable instrument integration and system expansion across distributed test architectures.
