Goepel electronic has introduced MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) communication modules for electronic control units (ECUs) in PXI and USB form factors. The new modules include the PXI card 3060 and a USB stand-alone controller named basicMOST 3060.

PXI 3060 and basicMOST 3060 target applications such as test of vehicle control units. The modules are configurable as master and slave.

The new controllers guarantee sending/receiving functions on the MOST bus Control Channel and Packet Channel, and they can read-out of all MOST bus data. Furthermore, the controllers can send and receive application protocols, data packages, and control messages. Trigger inputs and outputs are provided by means of the front connector. In addition, the PXI 3060 and basicMOST 3060 have analog inputs and outputs.
