VXIbus Consortium
The VXIbus Consortium is a standard setting organization with a global membership of leading Test & Measurement companies.
The VXIbus provides a time-tested bus you can trust to support your automated test and measurement needs. You can trust the VXIbus because it is well conceived, established, and time tested. More importantly, the VXIbus continues to thrive and is ideal for both current and future application requirements.
Well conceived
The VXIbus was well conceived by leading test and measurement companies to solve the most demanding test applications.
established
The VXIbus is established. It has a 26 year history of success and continues to be the leading modular instrument test platform.
time tested
The VXIbus is time tested, providing systems designers with security in the knowledge that their test platform will outlive the device being tested.
thriving
The VXIbus is thriving and has proven that it has the flexibility to evolve with the development of new technologies.

Why a Large Military Customer Uses a VXI 4.0 Interface
All new military programs face the problem that new systems need to maintain backward compatibility with existing test program sets (TPSs). At the same time, they want to implement new features and makes their systems ready for the next 20 years.

The VXIbus architecture has proven to be an ideal solution for high channel count applications that require extremely tight synchronization between multiple instruments and mainframes. Additionally, VXIbus products have historically integrated quite easily with other open-instrumentation platforms and communication buses such as IEEE-488, IEEE-1394 and USB 2.0, providing a very stable platform, independent of rapidly changing PC bus architectures.

Longevity is the main interest for system integrators who have to support their systems with long lifecycles like in military test systems. Systems designed in the early days of VXI are still fully supported today and can be extended without changing any of the existing infrastructures.
