Feature board 1 is selected the M module for use.
Comprehensive trigger element 2 and M bus control unit 3 are made up by FPGA.
Real-time clock 8 is selected RTC for use.
Ethernet transceiver 9 is selected DP83640 for use.
Adopt the M module bus interface of standard to be connected between base plate and the feature board, base plate is realized complete LXI interface function, and functional unit adopts the M modular design, and is relevant with function.Like this, accomplish separating fully on LXI interface unit and the instrumental function cell design, but made LXI interface base plate and M module independent design, exploitation, maintenance, upgrading, avoided the intersection of two parts functions, reduce the difficulty of LXI equipment development, improved the efficient of exploitation.For example, the hardware development of M module can not rely on the interface base plate of LXI, we can adopt easier debug platform to debug, after satisfying design requirement, directly it is pegged graft into the LXI Tongued and grooved floor, developed device driver according to mode standard for it then and just can use.
Comprehensive trigger element is simplified the logical design of M module.Triggering is one of basic characteristics of instrument, any instrument no matter, and all needing could operate as normal by relative trigger, that is to say that the work of instrument drives by triggering.It is powerful more that instrument triggers function, uses just flexibly more in system, and testing efficiency also can be high more; It is small and weak more that otherwise instrument triggers function, and the use of instrument is just stiff more.Before the LXI standard, some standard is only carried out standardization to the triggering signal electric function, do not relate to for aspects such as working model that triggers function and software interfaces, therefore, variety classes, the instrument that different manufacturers is produced, it triggers the function design and also varies, some bigger instrument producer can provide more unified model for instrument, as Agilent company, and most instrument production firm only supports fairly simple or carry out the instrument design with reference to the trigger model of large manufacturer, the triggering function of homemade testing equipment is more simple and original by contrast, when integrated test system, it is also relatively backward to trigger application, thereby is difficult to cause testing efficiency low to test assignment optimization.The LXI standard is except providing abundant, easy-to-use triggering resource for the user, the trigger model of standard also is provided for tester first, simultaneously in " sync cap standard " standardization the application programming interfaces of triggering, utilize these resources, we can make the triggering function of LXI an independence, unified standard functions unit fully, are integrated on the LXI interface base plate.Under new instrument framework, we do not need to be the triggering function of each M modular design complexity again, only the triggering signal on the LXI interface board need be linked in the M module and finish test action, and the processing of triggering signal is got final product by the agency of the standard cell on the LXI interface base plate fully.
Functions of the equipments interchangeability is good.Owing to adopt standardized designs, LXI interface base plate only relevant with the LXI interface function, and adopt the M module interface of standard between the function base plate, be the relation of one-to-many between the two, as long as functional unit meets M module specification characteristics, just the M module can be plugged on the base plate, be combined into corresponding instrument.No matter be, do not influence the other side's use because base plate or M module occur needing for some reason to upgrade or replace.If adopt standardized software design, we with any existing software program of change, can satisfy the compatibility to original system task hardly.
Extended capability is strong.From the demand of Auto-Test System to the universal test instrument, multiple function apparatus is the important directions of following automatic test equipment development.The test function density of unit volume is increasing, and test function is more and more stronger, the test assignment that some are little, and a multiple function apparatus can satisfy its testing requirement.In addition, because LXI equipment is compared the bus instrument of other types originally as intelligent instrument, the information processing potentiality are very powerful, also are fit to the multi-functional management of instrument.Therefore, we have selected the functional unit of M module bus expansion instrument when design LXI interface base plate, 1U is high, and the complete wide LXI equipment of frame can be expanded 8 M modules at most, and what we designed at present is the wide LXI equipment of high half frame of 1U, has only developed the base plate of two M module interfaces.In the use of M module, grafting M module is without any restriction on LXI interface base plate, and same kind or dissimilar M modules can and be stored in the same LXI equipment fully, and this is relevant with application.Extended capability also shows software (comprising firmware) function expansion and upgrades, the remote download function that we can support by LXI equipment, and not needing can be to the software or the firmware upgrade of instrument internal to instrument removal, thereby promotes the ability of instrument.
Equipment required voltage and maximum power are fixed, and power supply can standardization.M module code requirement use 5V (1A), ± power supply of 12V (200mA), and going up of LXI base plate all is digital signal, required power supply is 5V or gets final product through the 5V conversion that electric current is less than 1A.Like this, we just can calculate whole LXI equipment required power type and maximum power dissipation according to the quantity of M module, can carry out standardized designs to required power supply.For example, we now the power requirement of the LXI equipment of two M interfaces of design be:
5V(1A+1A*2)+12V0.2A*2+|(-12V)0.2A*2|=24.6W。
