SLSC and CRIO Modules and Accessories
Module
Our approach to delivering a high-quality Aerospace, Automated Test Equipment (ATE) asset begins with leveraging National Instruments hardware and software standard platforms. Beginning with high quality instrument platforms for standard Input and Output (I/O), we leverage NI’s PXI and Compact RIO platforms. Extending these system is NI’s unique platform for Switching, Loads and Signal Conditioning (SLSC), which allow the standard I/O to be customized for high performance aerospace industry applications.

VDT/Resolver Simulation Module for SLSC
Simulator
Bloomy's VDT/Resolver Simulation Module offers eight channels of variable differential transformer (VDT) sensor simulation at an unmatched price point. Its highly-flexible nature allows each channel to be configured independently for simulation of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), a rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT), or a resolver. Versatile, separate E1 and E2 returns allow each channel to be connected in a 4-, 5- or 6-wire configuration. The included VeriStand SLSC driver also allows each channel to simulate two 4-wire sensors where shared excitation is acceptable.
