Summary We have developed the K5/VSSP32 sampler system equipped with a USB-2.0 interface for VLBI observation, which is a successor to the K5/VSSP system. Maximum data rate is increased up to 256Mbps per unit (1024Mbps per module). Notebook PC can be a host PC. K5/VSSP32 can be used for not only a VLBI observation but also a general purpose geopysical observation which requires precise time labeling.
