This unit
The Keysight E1324A is a register-based VXI module providing RS-232C and RS-422 serial interfaces for automated test environments. This A-size, 1-slot module bridges VXI systems and external devices requiring legacy or specialized serial connectivity. It integrates directly into VXI mainframes equipped with Keysight command modules, enabling standardized modular instrumentation architectures for data transfer and device control.
Technical Specifications
Module Type: Register-based VXI module
Form Factor: A-size, 1-slot
Serial Protocols: RS-232C and RS-422
Key Features
Dual protocol support (RS-232C/422) provides flexibility for interfacing with diverse serial devices
Register-based architecture enables direct command and control through VXI addressing schemes
Single-slot footprint minimizes mainframe real estate while maintaining full serial communication capability
Typical Applications The E1324A serves applications where VXI-based test systems require serial communication with external instruments, controllers, or legacy equipment. Common use cases include automated test and measurement setups needing RS-232C or RS-422 connectivity, device control via serial protocols, and data acquisition from serial-enabled peripherals.
Compatibility & Integration
VXI Systems: Requires VXI mainframes with Keysight command module support
Mainframe Models: Compatible with A-size slots in HP E1300A and E1300B VXI mainframes
Integration: Functions as a plug-in module within standard VXI architecture, supporting modular instrument configurations
Keysight / Agilent / HP E1324A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Keysight / Agilent / HP E1324A. 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 Keysight / Agilent / HP E1324A 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.
