VXI Bus Emulator Supports Serial/Parallel Busses

The Xtreme Bus Emulator (XBE) VXI-bus emulator allows the emulation of a digital parallel or serial bus by downloading a unique micro-code that defines the bus protocol scheduled for execution. It also allows the unit under test to operate as if it were working in its intended environment. The module employs a microprocessor or micro controller architecture, dedicated to controlling the bus or transferring data to and from peripherals attached to the bus. Each XBE module contains multiple real-time, re-configurable data paths that interconnect the various internal resources. Features include operation of two synch/asynch buses, 50-MHz data and clock rates, up to 80 channels per module, and multiple handshake I/O. INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY INC., Walnut, CA. (909) 595-6030.
