VPC Cards
Goebel has designed a family of test instruments to fit within the Virginia Panel (VPC) Interface Test Adapter (ITA) receiver slot. By hosting in the ITA, the need for host computer PCI slots, host computer drivers, and wiring from host to ITA is eliminated. Moving IO signals to the ITA results in simpler and less expensive host computer. Since no OS driver is required, OS dependencies and driver maintenance across version updates is eliminated. A simpler more intuitive web interface is utilized based on standard http/UDP interfaces available across OS and processor architectures. Eliminating host IO interface cards, reduces cost in racks, wiring and host computer as well as improving signal integrity by moving the signals closer to the UUT.
Presently all signal cards use the 192 pin ITA connector. Cards can be single function, with access to all 192 pins or a modular format where an ITA slot can host 4 independent signal modules. The module format provides a way to provide a variety of signal functions in the ITA.
Although the form factor is designed for the ITA, cards can also be hosted on user PCBs or reside as stand alone units in auxiliary chassis.
VPC Relay Cards
Several varieties of Relay cards are available for a number of uses: Muxing real vs sim signals, fault insertion, source measurement, power system controllers to name a few.
