The award winning VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP™) provides customers with a level of modularity for instruments that is unmatched in the industry. The VMIP™ makes a single VXIbus card slot three times more powerful than single device solutions. Each VMIP™ instrument can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ devices for added flexibility.

35 ppm AC/DC multifunction calibrator for multimeters, power meters and generally all kinds of electric meters. Implementing modular design, 9010 can be further customized to calibrate oscilloscopes, insulation testers, sources and transducers.
- 35 ppm accuracy
- 400 MHz scope option
- Power quality functions, voltage from current


- Support the most high-performance Camera Link cameras with available support for Full and 80-bit mode at up to 85 MHz
- Perform deterministic image acquisition by way of the jitter-free Camera Link 2.1 interface
- Maximize system compatibility with the choice of PCIe® 2.1 x1, x4 or x8 connectivity
- Eliminate missed frames with ample onboard buffering and PCIe bandwidth
- Optimize multi-camera applications via support for up to four Base or two Full/80-bit Camera Link cameras per board
- Minimize space requirements and maximize PC compatibility through a half-length design with mini Camera Link connectivity for true single-slot operation
- Improve and simplify system connectivity with Power-overCamera-Link (PoCL) support at extended cable lengths

- The I3 and I3S Inline Controllers provide overdrive strobe and continuous operation to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile external controllers are not necessary.
- Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The I3 and I3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width.
- The I3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the I3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.
- All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
- Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.
- A wash down version of all ICS drivers is provided automatically with any wash down light to which it is attached.
- 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.

- Leverage dual-camera single-laser design to deliver exceptionally high 3D reproduction fidelity
- Scan scenes quickly with profiling rates of up to 11,000 per second
- Gain from unique embedded algorithms to generate consistent profiles, depth maps, or point clouds
- Benefit from truly standard GigE Vision® interface to work directly with Zebra Imaging and third-party vision software
- Simplify cabling with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support
- Deploy confidently in tough industrial settings thanks to a solid IP67-rated2 aluminum housing and M12 connectors
- Benefit from several fastening points to facilitate fixing one or more sensors to gantries and robots
- Streamline sensor setup and verification via the Aurora Capture Works utility for Windows® and Linux®

- Provides ±0.3 dB (typ.) total level accuracy
- 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz/6 GHz/13.5 GHz/26.5 GHz/43 GHz frequency range
- Various options can be installed
- Spectrum analyzer supporting built-in signal analyzer with FFT technology, vector signal generator, analog signal generator and audio analyzer (options)
- Offers modulation analysis, such as LTE, W-CDMA, WLAN, Vector Modulation and Analog Modulation (with optional software)
- Excellent eco-friendly product with low power consumption of 110 VA min.
