VXI Slot 0 Industry standard communications interfaces
PCbus architecture independence
Computer independence is a key advantage of the VXI platform, and a wide range of solutions are available from many different sources. To provide complete VXI subsystems, VTI Instruments offers a broad array of VXI slot 0 interfaces and controllers.

The VXIbus platform has exhibited amazing versatility in its 20+ year history through its ability to adapt to the evolution of communication interfaces.  Beginning with GPIB and continuing with USB, Firewire and now gigabit Ethernet (LXI), the VXIbus platform provides the most flexible options for remote control of mainframe-based systems.

The key to its success is the ability to maintain software compatibility, regardless of the slot 0 interface of choice, through the use of the industry standard VISA API.  Older interfaces can be replaced with newer modules without any significant code modifications, offering the benefits of new technology while preserving initial development investment.
