VXI offers attractive solutions for some measurement and control functions but is weak in a data acquisition application. Noise is again a problem. Channel cost is so high that important components are omitted in favor of high channel count: Components such as remote sensing of bridge excitation, effective normal mode filtering and protection against high frequency common mode noise. Adequate amplifier stability is sometimes neglected.

A VXI PARROTT Translator makes VXI PARROTT headsets compatible with any PC, laptop or palmtop soundcard, preventing incompatibility, a leading cause of voice recognition failure. By detecting the bias and resistance of the PC and balancing it with the headset's, the VXI PARROTT Translator allows maximum voice recognition accuracy right out of the box. It also improves other crucial voice recognition factors:

The only differences in the different VXI PARROTT headsets are the features that the headsets offer. For example, the VXI PARROTT 10-3 covers one ear (monaural headset), and the VXI PARROTT ST covers two ears (binaural headset), but they both have the same microphone. Hence, your voice recognition quality would remain the same using either headset, but they offer different comfort features.

A VXI PARROTT Bias Box connects your headset to your computer, similar to the VXI PARROTT Translator. The Bias Box makes the headset compatible with most computer sound cards, and it will also improve your dictation, since it provides the optimum voice output. It operates for a minimum of 1 year from two AA batteries, and includes a battery test switch. The Parrott Bias Box was used before the Translator existed.

A. Typically our VXI modules have a very good reliability record, any returns we get are usually caused by a relay failure or blown fuses - these are very easy to repair and are usually fixed and returned to the customer within 24 hours of Pickering receiving the module. Users can prevent these faults from occuring by ensuring they adhere to the maximum operating limits for the VXI module as outlined in its operating manual.

The VXI Everon is easy to set up for compatibility. For most phones, you simply insert two AA batteries and set the switches to A-4. If you have the below listed phone systems, you will not need batteries please set the compatibility settings as follows: All other electronic phones that can be powered from the handset cord: Position A or B and position 3.

A. To be message based a module has to include an embedded controller to convert high level (SCPI like) messages to instructions to the modules registers that control the hardware. That requires both physical space (for the controller) and more software on an imbedded software platform. PXI is a more compact platform than VXI so PXI modules are more likely to be register based.

The main difference is the type of quick disconnect (or QD) that the systems use. For more information, please select this PDF illustrating the two different switch options and their compatibility.
