This unit
The Agilent/Keysight 44788A is an HP-IB controller accessory that extends the control capabilities of the 3852A data acquisition system. It has localized command and monitoring of HP-IB instruments and peripherals through a dedicated local interface port, eliminating the requirement for external system controllers. The 44788A enables direct management of CS/80 and SS/80 disc drives, printers, and other IEEE-488 instruments while optimizing data throughput across the connected test environment.
Technical Specifications
- Model: 44788A
- Manufacturer: Agilent / Keysight / HP
- Interface: HP-IB (IEEE-488)
- Shipping Weight: Approximately 10 lbs
Key Features
- Localized HP-IB device control without dedicated external controller
- Direct interface to CS/80 and SS/80 HP-IB disc drives and printers
- Support for multiple HP-IB instruments on a single port
- Designed to increase system data throughput
Typical Applications
- Integration of mass storage devices within automated test systems
- Centralized printer and peripheral management in measurement environments
- Multi-instrument control in distributed data acquisition setups
- Elimination of standalone controller hardware in compact installations
Compatibility & Integration The 44788A is engineered specifically for integration with Agilent/Keysight 3852A data acquisition mainframes. It functions as a peripheral controller within the 3852A architecture, enabling direct HP-IB communication with disc drives, printers, and instrumentation without the overhead of a separate system controller.
Agilent / Keysight 44788A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight 44788A. 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 Agilent / Keysight 44788A 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.
