Applications

The Tektronix VX4367 is a VXIbus-format SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) relay switching module used in automated test and measurement systems built on the VXI (VME eXtensions for Instrumentation) platform. VXIbus became a widely adopted open standard in the late 1980s and through the 1990s for building modular, high-throughput automated test equipment (ATE) systems, and Tektronix was one of the key instrument manufacturers producing VXI-compatible modules alongside companies like National Instruments, Agilent (HP), and Racal. The VX4367 relay switching module is used to route signals between test instruments and the device under test (DUT), making it a fundamental building block in switching matrices and signal routing applications within ATE systems. This manual is the reference document an engineer or technician needs to integrate the module into a VXI mainframe, issue system and module commands, develop control software in BASIC, and interpret the BITE (Built-In Test Equipment) diagnostics. It remains relevant for labs and facilities still maintaining legacy VXIbus test systems.
