VME Bus

An industry-standard bus on the VXI backplane for module control, setup and measurement data transfers. For measurement data transfers, the Local Bus offers higher transfer rates.

VXI

VME Extensions for Instrumentation, a standard specification for instrument systems.

VXIplug&play

A set of standards which provides VXI users with a level of standardization across different vendors beyond what the VXI standard specifications spell out.

zoom

In instruments that support zoom you can select a frequency span around a specified center frequency so you can focus on a specific frequency band.
