This unit
The Curtiss-Wright/VMETRO EXERBAT-C is a protocol checker and exerciser for validating and debugging communication protocols in CompactPCI (cPCI) environments. It generates bus traffic under user control, checks protocol adherence to standards, and emulates planned but unavailable boards for hardware and software validation. Control is available through a Windows-based GUI (BusView™) via USB or RS232, or through a built-in terminal interface via RS232.
Technical Specifications
Protocol Checking: Validates communication protocol compliance with CompactPCI standards and specifications
Bus Traffic Generation: Programmable commands and burst lengths for automated testing and board emulation
Control Interface: USB and RS232 connectivity to BusView™ GUI; RS232 terminal interface
Target Memory: 8 MB at user-defined base address
Power Source: CompactPCI bus powered
Key Features
Master and Target emulation with DMA capabilities
Script engine for automated task execution
Real-time parameter editing of registers, memory, and data structures
PCI Configuration Scan function
Exerciser functionality for testing multiple scenarios under user control
Typical Applications
Hardware validation and debugging
Software testing and protocol verification
System-level validation in cPCI platforms
Manufacturing automated test sequences
Emulation of unavailable board designs during development
Compatibility & Integration The EXERBAT-C integrates with VMETRO PBT-515 and PBTM-515 analysis tools to form a complete Protocol Analyzer/Exerciser/Checker (PBAT) solution. It operates within CompactPCI environments and connects to Windows-based control software for full parameter manipulation and test execution.
Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO EXERBAT-C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO EXERBAT-C. 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 / VMETRO EXERBAT-C 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.

This Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO EXERBAT-C is listed at $2,400. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO EXERBAT-C calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Curtiss-Wright / VMETRO EXERBAT-C 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 →
