VME Digital Input/Output (V-DIO) System

The V-DIO is a modular VME based system and was mainly developed to control and readout measured signals and status from the Current to Frequency Converter (IFC). The development was done by the swiss company MagentaSys.

SVEC FMC Carrier Board

As main board the V-DIO is using the Simple VME FMC Carrier (SVEC) from the Open Hardware Repository (OHWR).
