This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E1343A is a 1-slot B-size VXI relay multiplexer module delivering high-voltage switching across 16 channels with configurable architectures. Built on reed relay technology, the module supports operation as a single 1×16 three-wire multiplexer, two independent 1×8 three-wire multiplexers, or a 1×8 six-wire multiplexer - enabling flexible test configurations from simple analog routing to four-wire resistance measurements and precision 6-wire setups. Register-based control via SCPI commands and downloadable firmware provide straightforward integration into automated test systems.

Compatibility & Integration The E1343A fits directly into B-size VXI mainframes (Agilent E1300B, E1301B). For C-size mainframe integration, deploy the E1403C active adapter. Analog bus cables enable connection with companion instruments such as the E1326B DMM. Instrument drivers and software support include I-SCPI (Win 3.1, Series 700), C-SCPI (LynxOS, Series 700), VXIplug&play frameworks, and panel drivers.

Agilent / Keysight E1343A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1343A. 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 E1343A 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.
