This unit

The Bustec ProDAQ 3020-AB USB 2.0 Slot-0 Interface is a C-size, register-based VXIbus module that establishes a direct, high-speed communication link between a host computer's USB 2.0 port and a VXIbus backplane. This interface can function as a Slot-0 controller, enabling seamless data acquisition and control for ProDAQ LXI and PXI systems. It has automatic detection of its Slot-0 status within a VXI mainframe, adapting its capabilities accordingly. The ProDAQ 3020-AB specifically includes an integrated GPIB port, allowing for the control of GPIB devices within the test system via the USB connection. It is compatible with Pentium-based PC systems equipped with USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 host controllers, with USB 2.0 recommended for full performance. The interface supports hot-plugging and hot-swapping of USB devices.

Technical Specifications General Interface:

  • Model: Bustec ProDAQ 3020-AB
  • Type: USB 2.0 Slot-0 Interface
  • VXIbus Module Size: C-size
  • Device Type: Register-based VXIbus module
  • Slot-0 Capabilities: Automatic detection of Slot-0 operation with support for MODID and CLK10 when in Slot-0.
  • Host Computer Requirements: Pentium-based PC compatible computer with USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 host controller. USB 2.0 host controller required for maximum performance.
  • Hot Plug-in/Swap: Supported. Interfaces:
  • Host Interface: USB 2.0 (High-speed compliant, up to 480 Mbps)
  • VXIbus Interface: * Address Ranges: A16, A24, A32 * Data Transfer Modes: D08, D16, D16BLT, D32, D32BLT, D64MBLT * Interrupt Capability: Interrupter/Handler, IRQ 1-7 * Trigger Lines: VXIbus TTL Trigger 0-7, VXIbus ECL Trigger 0-1
  • Optional Interfaces: * GPIB Port: IEEE 488.2 standard, integrated Ines iGPIB 72010 (NEC7210C/TMS9914A compatible) controller. Data Throughput:
  • Maximum Throughput: Up to 38 MB/s (with Tundra Universe Slave/D64MBLT Protocol). Front Panel I/O:
  • Trigger Input: TTL level, active edge software selectable. Can be routed to VXIbus TTL and ECL trigger lines.
  • Trigger Output: TTL level, active level software selectable. Can be driven by VXIbus TTL and ECL trigger lines.
  • CLK10 I/O: TTL level.
  • GPIB Port Connector: Standard 24-pin IEEE 488 connector (for -AB model). Power Requirements:
  • Voltage: * +5V: 900 mA typical, 1400 mA maximum * -5.2V: 300 mA maximum * -2V: 300 mA maximum
  • Power Consumption: < 9.2 W Physical Characteristics:
  • Dimensions: VXIbus single slot C-size module.
  • Weight: 950 g Environmental:
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to +50°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +70°C
  • Humidity: 10% to 90% (non-condensing) Software Support:
  • Compatibility: VXIplug&play compatible VISA library.
  • Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows (32-bit, 64-bit), VxWorks, and Linux. (Contact Bustec Ltd. for specific Linux driver information).
  • Drivers: VXIplug&play driver revision 4.3.1 for Windows 32/64-bit systems is available. Compatibility Notes:
  • Does not extend the VXI backplane between mainframes in a multi-mainframe system.
  • If used as a slot-0 controller in a D-size mainframe, it cannot provide control for instruments using the additional features of the P3 connector (CLK100, Star Trigger, add. Trigger and Local Bus Lines) as it is a C-size module.
