==Introduction==
[https://wwwdev.int.phidgets.com/docs/What_is_VINT_DRAFT VINT] stands for '''Versatile Interface''' and it's the system that all modern Phidgets use to communicate. Major improvements to VINT were introduced in late 2022, these include:

==Increased Communication Speed==
[[Image:MOT0110_0.jpg|thumb|link=https://www.phidgets.com/docs/images/6/6f/MOT0110_0.jpg|<center>The [https://www.phidgets.com/?tier=3&catid=10&pcid=8&prodid=1205 PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3] has a maximum data rate of 1000Hz</center>]]
Changes to VINT now allow certain devices to communicate at '''significantly faster speeds'''. 
{| style="margin:auto;width:85%;"
! !! Minimum Data Interval (milliseconds)!! Maximum Data Rate (Hertz)
|-
| VINT (First Generation)|| 20 || 50
|-
| VINT (Second Generation)|| < 1 || > 1000
|}
 
This results in higher data rates (as shown in the table above). The increased communication speed also results in significantly lower latency when sending commands to VINT devices.
==Increased Cable Lengths==
[[Image:Phidget_cables_close.jpg|thumb|link=https://www.phidgets.com/docs/images/c/ce/Phidget_cables_close.jpg|<center>Phidget cables can now extend up to 50 meters (164 feet) from a VINT Hub</center>]]
Changes to VINT now allow all second-generation VINT devices to '''extend significantly farther''' from a VINT Hub. 
{| style="margin:auto;width:85%;"
! !! Maximum Phidget Cable Length (meters) !! Maximum USB Cable Length (meters)
|-
| VINT (First Generation)|| 5 || 5
|-
| VINT (Second Generation)|| 50 || 5
|}
 
==Improved Electromagnetic Immunity==
All second-generation VINT devices now conform to a more rigorous '''industrial immunity standard'''. 
{| style="margin:auto;width:85%;"
! !! EMC Standard
|-
| VINT (First Generation)|| Commercial (IEC 61000-6-2 Class B)
|-
| VINT (Second Generation)|| Industrial (IEC 61000-6-2 Class A)

===Second Generation Systems===
A system only qualifies as second-generation if '''both''' the VINT Hub and the VINT device have shields on them.
