This unit
The Astronics / EADS / Racal 6065P-4 is a 4-channel serial interface card for VXIbus systems, delivering flexible multi-protocol serial communication with independent channel configuration. Each of the four channels configures independently as RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, or RS-485, supporting programmable data rates from 1.7 Baud to 125k Baud with seamless operation up to 38400 Baud without dead time. The card provides 512kB of allocatable input/output buffer memory and operates under SCPI control for standardized instrument programming.
Technical Specifications
Channels: 4 independent serial channels
Interface Protocols: RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, RS-485 (selectable per channel)
Data Rate: 1.7 Baud to 125k Baud (programmable); supports continuous operation to 38400 Baud
Buffer Memory: 512kB allocatable to input and output buffers
Protocol Configuration: Software-programmable word length, parity checking, handshaking, and baud rate per channel
Non-volatile Storage: Configuration memory retained across power cycles
Form Factor: C-size VXIbus compatible
Key Features
Independent per-channel protocol and baud rate selection eliminates cross-channel constraints
Software-controlled loopback at the line driver/receiver level for self-test verification
Simultaneous full-duplex transmit and receive on all four channels
SCPI compliance enables integration into automated test environments
Programmable key parameters stored in non-volatile memory
Typical Applications VXIbus-based serial data acquisition, multi-instrument control, protocol conversion testing, and embedded system communication validation where diverse serial standards must operate in parallel.
Compatibility & Integration Designed for C-size VXIbus message-based systems. SCPI programming language support provides direct integration with standard instrument control frameworks and automated test software.
Astronics / EADS / Racal 6065P-4 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Astronics / EADS / Racal 6065P-4. Calibration covers all module-specific parameters per manufacturer datasheet, output accuracy and linearity, frequency accuracy, and VXI register and trigger bus compliance. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Astronics / EADS / Racal 6065P-4 faults: relay contact wear, DAC/ADC drift, VXI backplane connector oxidation. Common faults include relay contact wear, DAC or ADC gain drift, and VXI backplane edge connector oxidation. Most modules are repaired at the component level with full post-repair verification in a C-size or D-size mainframe.
