Dependable VXI Calibration Provider
VXI (VME eXtensions for Instrumentation) technology gives engineers a standardized platform for integrating test and measurement instruments into modular systems used across aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications. Micro Precision is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited and delivers NIST-traceable VXI calibration services backed by a network of 50+ calibration labs. Correct calibration keeps VXI mainframes, modules, and cards interoperable within complex test systems, so your equipment performs to specification.
Our calibration technicians support a variety of VXI mainframes and modules from manufacturers including Keysight (formerly Agilent) calibration services and National Instruments calibration services, along with VTI Instruments and Tektronix VXI Technology equipment. We understand the role VXI technology plays in your test operations and provide the accreditation and traceability your quality management system requires.
Why VXI Calibration Matters
VXI calibration matters because a single out-of-tolerance module in a modular test system can affect the accuracy of every instrument sharing the same VXI mainframe. Regular VXI calibration reduces the risk of measurement errors that can lead to production delays, product recalls, or safety incidents in aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications.
Industries that rely on VXI-based test systems depend on consistent, accurate measurements, since even minor errors can carry significant consequences downstream. Calibration and repair of VXI equipment support compliance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 requirements, helping your quality management system stay audit-ready. Routine calibration also helps extend the service life of VXI mainframes and modules and can help identify developing issues before they cause equipment failure.
Ensure Accurate VXI Calibration
Micro Precision ensures accurate VXI calibration through a structured process: receiving your VXI mainframe, module, or card, testing it against manufacturer specifications, adjusting components found out of tolerance, and issuing a calibration certificate before return shipment. Every VXI calibration is backed by our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation and NIST-traceable measurement standards.
Our calibration technicians provide calibration, repair, and certification services for a variety of VXI modules across multiple manufacturers. Choosing an accredited provider for VXI calibration and repair helps your quality management system stay audit-ready and reduces downtime for your test systems.
VXI Equipment We Calibrate
Micro Precision calibrates a variety of VXI mainframes, modules, and cards used in modular test and measurement systems, including instruments from Keysight (formerly Agilent), National Instruments, VTI Instruments, and Tektronix VXI Technology. Equipment we service includes VXI modules such as the Agilent/Keysight E1300, E1400, E4200, E5200/E5300, and E6200 series, along with Tektronix 73A-851A and 73A270 VXI instruments. Our technicians also support related electrical calibration capabilities and VXI/RF-microwave modular test system calibration for integrated VXI-based systems.
Our Calibration Options
Micro Precision offers VXI calibration through in-lab service at our accredited calibration facilities and on-site calibration at your location, depending on your VXI system’s configuration and operational needs. Both options provide the same ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited, NIST-traceable calibration, with faster turnaround options available for time-sensitive test system schedules.
In-lab calibration is well suited to VXI modules and cards that can be shipped to one of our calibration labs, while on-site calibration supports fully integrated VXI mainframes and test systems that are impractical to relocate. Micro Precision offers faster turnaround options for VXI calibration and repair when your test schedule requires a quicker response. Service requests submitted during office hours (Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM PST) typically receive a same-day response from a Micro Precision representative, with a response within one business day after hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
VXI calibration is the process of testing and adjusting VXI (VME eXtensions for Instrumentation) mainframes, modules, and cards against manufacturer specifications to confirm they perform within tolerance. Micro Precision provides ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited, NIST-traceable VXI calibration services for modular test and measurement systems used in aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications.
VXI modules are commonly recalibrated on an annual cycle, or sooner if the equipment operates outside its normal temperature range or shows signs of drift. Manufacturer documentation typically recommends periodic recalibration to keep VXI-based test systems within specification. Micro Precision recommends confirming the appropriate interval based on your equipment’s manufacturer guidelines and your quality management system requirements.
Traceable calibration confirms your VXI equipment is calibrated to manufacturer specifications using standards traceable to SI units. NIST-traceable calibration specifically ties those measurement standards to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Accredited calibration adds independent verification of Micro Precision’s quality system under ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the highest service level Micro Precision offers for VXI calibration.
Aerospace, defense, and telecommunications industries rely most heavily on VXI-based test systems for modular instrumentation. These industries require accurate, NIST-traceable calibration because VXI mainframes integrate multiple instruments into a single test platform, so a single out-of-tolerance module can affect results across the entire system. Micro Precision supports calibration needs across these industries and other sectors using VXI technology.
Yes. Micro Precision calibrates a variety of VXI mainframes, modules, and cards from multiple manufacturers, including Keysight (formerly Agilent), National Instruments, VTI Instruments, and Tektronix VXI Technology, within the same test system. Calibrating VXI components in a system together helps confirm that interoperability and measurement accuracy are maintained across the full modular platform.
An ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited VXI calibration certificate includes calibration data, the accrediting body’s logo, and expanded measurement uncertainty for the tested parameters. This level of documentation supports audit readiness and demonstrates compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 requirements. Micro Precision also offers traceable and traceable-with-data service levels for VXI calibration needs that do not require full accreditation.
VXI modules and cards can typically be shipped to one of Micro Precision’s calibration labs for in-lab calibration, while fully integrated VXI mainframes and test systems may be better suited to on-site calibration. Micro Precision offers both in-lab and on-site VXI calibration options depending on your system’s configuration and operational needs.
VXI calibration turnaround depends on the mainframe, module, or card being serviced and the service level selected. Micro Precision offers faster turnaround options for time-sensitive VXI calibration and repair needs. Service requests submitted during office hours (Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM PST) typically receive a same-day response from a Micro Precision representative, with a response within one business day after hours.
