IEEE Std 1155-1992 IEEE Standard for VMEbus Extensions for Instrumentation: VXIbus -Description
Abstract: A technically sound modular instrument standard based on IEEE Std 1014-1987, IEEE Standard for a Versatile Backplane Bus: VMEbus, which is open to all manufacturers and is compatible with present industry standards, is defined. The VXIbus specification details the technical requirements of VXIbus compatible components, such as mainframes, backplanes, power supplies, and modules.
Keywords: common modular instrument architecture, VMEbus, VXIbus
