VX4101A Description
TheVX4101A MultiPaqtInstrument is a C-size single slot VXI module for use
in a mainframe conforming to the VXIbus specification. The VX4101A provides
powerful functionality in a small package, and includes the following instru-
ments needed in a typical VXI system:
H Full function Universal Counter/Timer
H Digital Input and Output
H Full function Digital Multimeter (DMM)
H Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)

All instruments included in the VX4101A are VXI message-based. Each
function is located at the same logical address, but can be accessed and used
separately. You can access the instruments sequentially in the same manner as
multiple instruments in a typical test system. They can be set up sequentially,
then triggered and operated concurrently, with local on-instrument processing
and memory for each function. To understand the principles of operation of the
VX4101A, see Operating Basics.
