Applications

The Tektronix VX4372 is a 2-wire relay scanner slave module designed for use in VXIbus automated test systems. It expands switching capacity within a VXI mainframe by operating as a slave to a master scanner module, allowing large-scale signal routing and multiplexing across a device under test. This type of relay scanner module was used in semiconductor test, electronic manufacturing test, and general-purpose automated test equipment (ATE) setups where many signal lines must be systematically switched and measured. The VXIbus standard, which gained wide adoption in the late 1980s and through the 1990s, combined IEEE 488 (GPIB) instrument control concepts with a high-speed VMEbus-based backplane, enabling modular, rack-integrated test systems with tight instrument synchronization. This manual is the reference needed by engineers maintaining or programming legacy VXI-based test systems that include the VX4372.
