This unit
The Ametek VM7004-5 is a four-channel programmable resistor module engineered for VXIbus test systems requiring precise resistance simulation, sensor emulation, and calibration functionality. This card delivers independent programmable resistance channels in a compact C-size form factor, with up to three modules stackable in a single slot for 12 total channels. Four-wire connections on each channel eliminate lead resistance effects, while a dedicated four-wire monitor bus enables in-system calibration and self-test routines.
