This unit
The VM9000 is a VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP) carrier unit that consolidates up to three instrument modules within a single C-size VXIbus card slot. This open-platform architecture eliminates the need for multiple slot allocations, delivering equivalent functionality of three independent devices while reducing physical footprint and system cost. Each integrated module functions as a separate VXIbus device with its own Unique Logical Address (ULA) and VXIplug&play driver support, enabling mixed instrument configurations from VTI Instruments and third-party manufacturers across over 20 available module options.
Technical Specifications
- Mechanical Form Factor: Single C-size VXIbus slot
- Module Capacity: Up to three VMIP instruments per carrier
- Available Instrument Modules: Over 20 unique configurations
- VXIbus Compliance: Full specification support including all seven power supply lines, TTL bus triggers, and interrupt signals
- Device Addressing: Independent ULA assignment per integrated module
Key Features
- Open-platform design supports instrument modules from multiple manufacturers
- Each module operates as independent VXIbus device with dedicated driver support
- instrumentation accommodation including 6.5 digit DMMs, 1 ns counter/timers, and 50 MSa/s arbitrary waveform generators
- Factory assembly available for multi-function instrument configurations
- Prototyping module (VM7000) enables custom circuitry integration
System Benefits
- Significantly reduces test system footprint by consolidating three instruments into one slot
- Lowers overall acquisition system cost through slot consolidation
- Maintains independent device addressing and driver management
- Enables customized configurations based on application requirements and budget constraints
Compatibility & Integration
- VXIbus specification compliant
- Compatible with VTI Instruments VMIP module family
- Carrier unit required for all VMIP module installations
- Individual modules cannot be ordered separately without corresponding VM9000 carrier
Ametek / VTI Instruments / VXI Technology VM9000 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Ametek / VTI Instruments / VXI Technology VM9000. 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 Ametek / VTI Instruments / VXI Technology VM9000 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.
