IEEE Standard for VMEbus Extensions for Instrumentation: VXIbus
Abstract
A technically sound modular instrument standard base on IEEE Std 1014-1987, IEEE Standard for a Versatile Backplane Bus: VMEbus, which is open to all manufacturers and is compatible with present industry standards, is defined. The VXIbus specification details the technical requirements of VXIbus compatible components, such as mainframes, backplanes, power supplies, and modules.Scope
The goal of the VXIbus is to define a technically sound modular instrument standard based on IEEE Std 1014-1987 that is open to all manufacturers and is compatible with present industry standards. VXIbus is an acronym for VMEbus extensions for instrumentation. The VXIbus specification details the technical requirements of VXIbus compatible components, such as mainframes, backplanes, power supplies, and modules. Before studying the VXIbus architecture, one should become familiar with the VMEbus and its specification.
