The VX1161 Multi Base Module is a scalable, high-performance rack-mounted system for measuring and calibrating multiple ECUs in one setup. A wide range of interface cards allows for the creation of customized combinations for any application. The solution includes direct access to ECU internal data, raw radar data acquisition, analog and digital measurement values, as well as video and network interfaces. Application Areas include vehicles, test benches, and laboratories.
Highlights
- High‑performance ECU access: Measurement and calibration access to internal data of multiple ECUs simultaneously
- Space and cost efficiency: Simplified installation and wiring for measuring multiple ECUs
- High uplink bandwidth: Sufficient bandwidth for growing demands, for example in ADAS development, with 4 × 10 Gbit/s Ethernet uplinks to the measurement PC
- Time‑synchronized measurement architecture: Synchronization of all cards via IEEE 1588 PTP
- Scalable, preconfigured system: Delivery of customer‑specific, preconfigured system with user‑replaceable interface cards and performance reserves for future upgrades
Housing


The VX1161.01A is the modular base housing of the VX1161 system. It features active cooling and provides slots for multiple interface cards. The VX1161 system is always equipped with a power supply card and a host uplink card and offers six additional slots. Depending on the measurement task, you can equip these with network, POD, or video interface cards, or analog I/O cards.
