Rohde & Schwarz Selects Bustec as Sole Supplier of VXI Slot-0 Interfaces

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bustec announced today that Rohde & Schwarz selected Bustec as their sole supplier of VXI slot-0 interfaces for new VXI systems. Rohde & Schwarz chose Bustec's ProDAQ VXI slot-0 product line because of the company's continued investment in developing VXI interfaces with fast embedded processors in a single-slot solution, giving Rohde & Schwarz the flexibility and versatility they need for their new VXI systems.

"We are pleased that Rohde & Schwarz has selected our ProDAQ VXI controllers for their manufacturing test systems," said Dr. Fred Blönnigen, CEO of Bustec. "We are committed to a long-term investment in VXI and development of the latest embedded processors so our customers can build the highest performance test systems possible for their demanding application needs."

The Rohde & Schwarz selection of Bustec VXI interfaces follows Lockheed Martin's selection of the Bustec ProDAQ VXI slot-0 interface earlier this year for its new electronic Consolidated Automated Support System (eCASS). With the ProDAQ VXI interface, Lockheed Martin can deliver a test system capable of testing modern aircraft electronics, reducing test time, and maintaining compatibility with existing hardware and software of the previous-generation system. 

The Latest Bustec VXI Slot-0 Controller

As a leading manufacturer of VXI slot-0s and data acquisition instrumentation, Bustec played a key role in driving the VXI-1 Revision 4.0 standard. As the first VXI controller to support the new VXI-1 Rev. 4.0 standard, the ProDAQ 3030 interface fully supports 2eSST transfers, delivering up to 320 MB/s of throughput and latency of less than 1 µs for single word transfers.
