Radio Frequency Applications in Telecom is Anticipated to Sustain the Market for VME Extensions for Instrumentation.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46380) has announced the addition of "World VXI (VME EXtensions for Instrumentation) A peripheral bus specialized for data acquisition and real time control systems. Introduced in 1987, VXI uses all Eurocard form factors and adds trigger lines, a local bus and other functions suited for measurement applications.  and PXI (PCI EXtensions for Instrumentation) A peripheral bus specialized for data acquisition and real time control systems. Introduced in 1997, PXI uses the CompactPCI 3U and 6U form factors and adds trigger lines, a local bus and other functions suited for measurement  Test and Measurement Equipment Markets" to their offering.

The world VXI and PXI-based Test and Measurement equipment markets are divided into the following market segments: DMM/Counter Timer, Digital I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

Market Overview

Radio Frequency Applications in Telecom is Anticipated to Sustain the Market for VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations.  Extensions for Instrumentation

The continuous demand from the military and defence markets in combination with the increasing popularity of radio frequency (RF) applications in military, aerospace, and avionics avionics (ā'vēŏn`ĭks), electronic instruments used in air or space flight; also the design and production of such instruments. Early planes had few instruments, but as aviation and aircraft became more complex, so did instrumentation.  markets is driving demand in the virtual machine environment (VME) bus extensions for Instrumentation (VXI) sector. Applications in base stations, marine radio equipment, radar and surveillance in the military and radio functions in avionics are expected to sustain the growth of VXI devices. Industry participants are expanding focus onto newer but equally profitable markets such as telecommunications and manufacturing, especially in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe Eastern Europe

The countries of eastern Europe, especially those that were allied with the USSR in the Warsaw Pact, which was established in 1955 and dissolved in 1991.
. Along with the growing popularity of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and bluetooth, VXI testing is extremely viable for telecommunication operations such as mobile phone testing.

The rise in manufacturing, especially in the Asia Pacific region, is subsequently portending opportunities for the entire VXI market, says the analyst of this research service. VXI-based test and measurement equipment stand to benefit as increasingly more U.S.-based companies shift their manufacturing units to Asian countries Noun 1.

Value for Money and Increased Efficiency Drives Growth in PXI Sector

Peripheral component interconnect See PCI.

(hardware) Peripheral Component Interconnect - (PCI) A standard for connecting peripherals to a personal computer, designed by Intel and released around Autumn 1993. PCI is supported by most major manufacturers including Apple Computer.

) extensions for instrumentation (PXI) based testing affinity for more complex applications is advancing its growth rapidly across a wide range of sectors. It is fast gaining ground in areas such as military, aerospace, avionics, automotive, process measurement, motion and machine control, rapid prototyping Building a part one layer at a time using a method of additive fabrication such as 3D printing. Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. , automated test equipment (ATE), manufacturing and production, and boundary scan See scan technology.

boundary scan - The use of scan registers to capture state from device input and output pins. IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 describes the international standard implementation (sometimes called JTAG after the Joint Test Action Group which began the
 tests. Speed of the test, small form factor, high throughput, flexibility of the platform, and ability to closely integrate various measurements within the platform are some of the factors favouring PXI.

The PXI platform is an economical option in comparison to high-end VXI or VME solutions or cheaper but unreliable PC-based alternatives. In addition, the phenomenal increase in the functionality of a PXI module has improved the price-performance ratio. The majority of manufacturers in the end-user space are attracted to PXI due to functional density, high performance, and throughput achievable with this platform, further explains the analyst. More functionality for less cost is the norm in the PXI market, and this has attracted customers in large numbers and spurred demand for PXI products.
