This unit
The Astronics / C&H Technologies VX405C M/MA Module Carrier is a VXIbus-resident carrier that provides mechanical and electrical interfacing for up to six VITA 12-1996 standard M/MA modules within a single VXI slot. The carrier manages VXI register configuration and delivers independent I/O space and memory access to each installed module, with individual logical addressing enabling flexible instrument integration. Each M/MA module operates as a distinct logical address within the VXI environment, supporting custom UUT interfacing through a library of over 200 available modules.

Astronics / C&H Technologies VX405C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Astronics / C&H Technologies VX405C. 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 / C&H Technologies VX405C 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.
