The Technology that makes it Work

M Modules are ANSI/VITA 12-1996 standard mezzanine cards which afford the user significant benefits and flexibility when configuring a test, data acquisition or control system. Amon these benefits are:

  • Standard is controlled by an industry organization and not a single vendor
  • Over 150 M Modules are currently available from a number of vendors (Product Directory)
  • Once an instrument or function is selected it may be ported to a variety of backplanes or busses gaining the user platform independence.
  • The simple interface bus makes for easy development of custom functions without the cost of develooping VXI, PXI, LXI modules. Just buy the appropriate carrier.
  • Instrument vendor development costs are reduced (1 Pulse Generator works in VXI, LXI, PXI), thereby offering the potential for reducing customer's life cycle costs.
  • Provides for multiple functions in a single VXI, PXI, VME slot.
  • Can provide factory test sets and smaller PXI or LXI field test sets.
