This unit
The Ixia 1600 is a 16-slot rack-mountable traffic generator and analyzer chassis engineered for validation of network infrastructure and applications across multilayer protocols. It delivers flexible, scalable traffic generation with support for realistic network condition emulation and synchronized multi-chassis testing via daisy-chaining of up to 256 units within 10 nanoseconds.

Ixia 1600 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Ixia 1600. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Ixia 1600 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.

This Ixia 1600 is listed at $830. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Ixia 1600 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Ixia 1600 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
