The VXI Technology E1432-61600 is an 8-channel voltage breakout box that interfaces VXIbus systems with external transducers and signal sources. Designed as a C-size, single-slot VXIbus module, it provides direct connectivity to instruments such as the VT1432A/B digitizer series while managing ICP transducer power and signal routing. The module delivers 4.5 mA nominal current at up to 28 volts through software-controlled current sources grouped across four-connector pairs, with manual grounding switches at each connector for differential or chassis-referenced operation.
Technical Specifications
• Form Factor: C-size, single-slot VXIbus module
• Signal Channels: 8 input channels
• ICP Transducer Power: 4.5 mA (nominal) at up to 28 V
