This unit
The Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 is a quad-processor DSP board built around the QuadFlow architecture for signal processing in radar, sonar, and image processing systems. Four PowerPC MPC7447A/7448 processors operating up to 1.25 GHz deliver 40 GFLOPS peak computational power, each with dedicated DDR-250 SDRAM and AltiVec parallel processing capability. The non-blocking architecture achieves 3.2 GB/s on-board throughput and 2.0 GB/s instantaneous peak data transfer to memory, supporting simultaneous processor-to-memory, processor-to-processor, and I/O transfers with low latency.
Technical Specifications

Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 price
This Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 is listed at $3,800. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV IV / SVME-416 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
