This unit
The Keysight E1306A is a B-size VXI GPIB command module engineered as an embedded controller for 20-slot E1302A mainframes. It bridges GPIB (IEEE-488) connectivity with VXI backplane communications, parsing SCPI measurement control commands and directing them to register-based VXI devices from any manufacturer. The module operates as the system resource manager and must occupy the first mainframe slot.
It features an 8 MHz 68000 processor, up to 2 MB nonvolatile RAM (expandable in 1 MB increments), and RS-232 auxiliary connectivity for terminal and debug operations.
Technical Specifications
Processor & Memory- 8 MHz 68000 core processor

Agilent / Keysight E1306A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1306A. Calibration covers all module-specific parameters per manufacturer datasheet, output accuracy and linearity, frequency accuracy, and VXI register and trigger bus compliance. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight E1306A faults: relay contact wear, DAC/ADC drift, VXI backplane connector oxidation. Common faults include relay contact wear, DAC or ADC gain drift, and VXI backplane edge connector oxidation. Most modules are repaired at the component level with full post-repair verification in a C-size or D-size mainframe.
