ChronoLogic’s Distributed Virtual Instrument (DVI) product family, enabled with USB-inSync™ technology allows users to combine multiple synchronized hardware modules with software to create a powerful virtual instrument.
The DVI product range provides users with the ultimate in test & measurement flexibility. Each DVI is a simple stand alone unit that provides a specific functionality in a small, rugged form factor with all of the plug-and-play benefits of USB. In addition, DVI’s can be combined either by plugging them directly into your PC’s USB host controller (using supplied cables), or with ChronoLogic’s Maestro – Master Timing Hub and used as building blocks to create large, synchronous test setups consisting of more than 100 devices with multiple functionalities.
By combining DVI hardware with ChronoLogic’s free software or LabVIEW drivers (provided), multiple modules can be controlled as one synchronous, multi-function device. This is possible due to the fact that each DVI is enabled with USB-inSync™ technology, which allows multiple USB modules to be synchronized to within ±1ns, allowing them to offer precision timing and synchronization capability in a distributed platform. Such precision timing capability has traditionally been limited to expensive, fixed rack-based instrumentation platforms.
ChronoLogic is actively seeking input to our product development process. If you have any thoughts / comments or suggestions relating to the DVI concept or product range, please contact us at
