Title :
The VXIbus from an instrument designer´s perspective
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
The VXIbus specification defines a technically sound modular instrument standard addressing electrical, mechanical, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/power, and communication requirements for modules. The standard does not cover certain information that is critical to the instrument module designer. For this reason, it becomes necessary for a VXIbus instrument manufacturer to define an internal standard to supplement the VXIbus specification. The author describes Hewlett-Packard´s instrument module design standard, which addresses instrument language, front panel design, and common interface hardware, and other supplemental HP standards
