VXI Technology E1432-61600

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
• Power Control: Software-controllable current sources (4-connector groups)
• Connectors: Sub-miniature D-type connectors
• Grounding Options: Manual GND/DIFF switches per connector

– Key Features

• Paired current source control enables independent power management across channel groups
• Manual grounding switches support both chassis-referenced (GND) and floating (DIFF) configurations
• Signal integrity preservation through sub-miniature D connectors
• VXIbus register-based programming with A24 addressing and D32 data capability
• High-speed module-to-module communication bus
• TTL trigger line support (2 or 4 lines) for multi-module synchronization

– Typical Applications

Automated test and measurement systems requiring ICP transducer power delivery and signal acquisition, particularly those integrating VT1432A/B digitizers for vibration analysis, structural monitoring, and acoustic measurement.

– Compatibility & Integration

Fully compliant with VXIbus revision 1.4 specifications and VXIplug&play driver architecture. Supports high-speed host communication via VXIbus backplane. Pairs with associated digitizers offering 24-bit resolution and sampling rates to 102.4 kSa/s.
