Feeling Comfortable with VXIbus If you've been around electronics think about electronic test, there's very long, you know that "rack still some confusion about how and stack" instruments have been to apply the VXIbus standard, a mainstay in the electronics how complex it is, and how it fits industry for years. Much of their in with existing rack and stack success is due to a widely used instruments. With the success interface, IEEE-488. Developed of the VXIbus standard, other by Agilent Technologies in the standards -like VXIplug&play mid-1970's, this interface allows and SCPI - are emerging to you easily to connect your improve the usefulness of VXIbus instruments using a remote technology in electronic test. computer. In the late 1980's, In this booklet, we'll provide you Agilent Technologies with a basic understanding of offered a standard VXIbus, SCPI, and VXIplug&play- instrument language and explain some of the advantages that was quickly adopted of these standards. We will not by the Test and Measurement tell you that they are the answer industry as SCPI -Standard to every problem, but will show Commands for Programmable you how to integrate these modular Instrumentation - to eliminate products into your current test the multitude of proprietary system. We'll also help you instrument programming languages understand the tradeoffs in available from instrument vendors. selecting various VXI devices. During this time, Agilent and Please understand this is not other instrument manufacturers a manual for any specific VXI produced a growing number instrument, but rather an of proprietary GPIB modular introduction to overall VXI instrument products. These technology. instruments could be integrated into test systems to provide We're pleased to be a leader in switching, measurements VXIbus, SCPI, and VXIplug&play and signal source capabilities. technologies. We think you'll see However few of these modular the advantages of these standards products were compatible. The in your test system environment. VXIbus standard addressed this problem of incompatibility. With that in mind, Because it changes the way we let's t
