The VXI Technology 4016-3-S-11015 is a VXIbus analog comparator module designed for go/no-go testing and voltage threshold monitoring in control applications. It provides 16 true differential input channels that compare analog signals against software-defined bounds and generate VXIbus or front panel interrupts when thresholds are exceeded. The module supports both message-based (SCPI and IEEE-488.2 compatible) and register-based data access, enabling flexible integration into automated test systems and real-time control environments.
Technical Specifications
• Channels: 16 true differential analog comparator inputs
• Input Type: Analog comparator with selectable polarity (rising or falling edge)
• Input Voltage Ranges: Selectable configuration options including ±10 V and ±50 V
• Resolution: 8-bit
• Debounce Time: Programmable from 9.6 µs to 0.6291456 s
– Key Features
• Dual data access modes: message-based via VXI interface and register-based for high-speed throughput
• SCPI and IEEE-488.2 command compatibility for standardized control
• Programmable threshold monitoring with interrupt generation capability
• Direct register mapping into VXI user-definable memory for optimized data throughput
• VXIplug&play drivers included for rapid development and integration
– Typical Applications
Voltage level monitoring in automated test systems, equipment control requiring real-time threshold detection, and go/no-go pass/fail testing where edge-triggered interrupts enable immediate response to signal conditions.
– Compatibility & Integration
Fully compatible with VXIbus standards and integrates with the VMIP™ module family, including time-stamp enhancement capability via the VM1602 module. Operates in standard VXIbus mainframe form factors and supports VXI 2.0 and later specifications depending on mainframe configuration.
