The outputs are optically isolated solid state AC/DC Form A relay outputs with a 10 Ω resistance and 200 ma carrying current capability. The inputs are optically isolated with programmable threshold levels and debounce. 12 Agilent to VXI Technology Cross-Reference Guide

14 VT1538A: Enhanced Frequency/Totalize/PWM SCP (Formerly Agilent E1538A) The VT1538A Enhanced Frequency/Totalize/PWM SCP has eight channels. Each of the eight channels can be individually configured to perform input or output functions. Input functions include frequency measurement and totalize, pulse width measurement, rpm and quadrature count. Output functions can free run or can be triggered. Output functions include square waves, pulse trains, angular position pulse and stepper motor control. Any channel can be configured as a one-bit variable level digital input or output. Additionally, two channels may be configured for low-level sensors. VT1539A: Remote Channel Signal Conditioning Plug-On (Formerly Agilent E1539A) The VT1529B and its companion products, the VT1422A and VT1539A, provide a breakthrough in lower cost for automated strain measurements in structural and fatigue testing applications. Thirty-two channels of conditioning for both static-load and vibration measurements are included in each unit. The VT1529B can be located up to 1000 feet away from the measurement system for static measurements and 300 feet for dynamic measurements. The VT1422A controls the VT1529B multiplexer and includes a 16-bit, 25 ksamples/s scanning digitizer for signal acquisition. The connections and I/O control of VT1529B s is provided by VT1539A remote channel SCP s installed on the VT1422A. VT1563A: 800 ksamples/s, 2 Channel Digitizer 14 Bits (Formerly Agilent E1563A) The VT1563A 2-channel digitizer is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. It is ideal for measurements in electronic production test, particularly in environments with high levels of electrical noise. Engineers and technicians in manufacturing test groups can fully characterize electronic transient waveforms with this highly accurate digitizer. Each channel of the VT1563A digitizer has its own analog electronics; including switchable 25 khz input filters, 800 ksamples/s 14-bit A/D converters and independent channel isolation. The VT1563A is configured for PC SIMM memory, scaleable from 4 Mbyte to 128 Mbytes. The large memory can easily capture transients and act as a FIFO to allow continuous digitizing while unloading data with block mode transfers. VT1564A: 800 ksamples/s, 4 Channel Digitizer 14 Bits (Formerly Agilent E1564A) The VT1564A digitizer is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. It is ideal for measurements in electromechanical design characterization, particularly in environments with high levels of electrical noise. Engineers and technicians in product development and engineering research test groups can fully characterize electronic and mechanical transient waveforms with this highly accurate digitizer. Each channel of the VT1564A digitizer has its own analog electronics, including four (4) selectable input filters, 800 ksamples/s 14-bit A/D converters and independent channel isolation. The VT1564A is configured for PC SIMM memory, scaleable from 4 Mbyte to 128 Mbytes. The large memory can easily capture transients and act as a FIFO to allow continuous digitizing while unloading data with block mode transfers. Agilent to VXI Technology Cross-Reference Guide 13

15 VT1586A: Rack Mount Terminal Panel for 32 Channels (Formerly Agilent E1586A) The VT1586A remote isothermal panel provides maximum flexibility in configuring system wiring and interface solutions. It connects VXI test modules to the device under test (DUT) when the system components relocated at a distance from the mainframe. Different cable pairs are available from VXI Technology for connecting the VT1586A rackmount terminal panel to VXI modules with option A3F. The standard cables, VXI Technology VT1588A consist of two each 2-meter long, 16-channel, 50 conductor twisted pair SCSI cables with one shield around all 16 pairs. These cables are suitable for relatively short cable runs. Contact VXI Technology Customer Service for price and delivery of custom-length cables. 14 Agilent to VXI Technology Cross-Reference Guide
