This unit
The E1403C is a single-slot VXI carrier that adapts A-size and B-size VXI modules for operation in C-size VXI mainframes. It has a fully buffered, active extension of the P1 connector, enabling smaller modules to function within larger chassis environments. Designed exclusively for slave operation, the adapter cannot occupy Slot 0 or interface with bus masters.
The standard configuration occupies one slot width; an optional two-slot variant (Option 010) is available for applications requiring additional physical space. Multiple adapters can be deployed within a single mainframe without restriction. The E1403C also permits adaptation of VME cards meeting VXI mechanical and electrical specifications, though such configurations fall outside official support parameters.
Technical Specifications
- Form factor: Single-slot VXI carrier
- Width options: 1-slot (standard) or 2-slot (Option 010)
- Interface: Active, fully buffered P1 connector extension
- Operational mode: Slave-only
- Backplane connection: Left-most slot
Key Features
- Accepts A-size and B-size VXI modules
- Compatible with all C-size VXI mainframes
- Unlimited quantity deployable per mainframe
- No bus master capability
- Slot 0 installation not supported
- Enables VME module adaptation (subject to VXI compliance)
Typical Applications The E1403C serves environments where legacy A or B-size VXI instrumentation must integrate with modern C-size chassis architectures. Particularly valuable in mixed-generation test systems where preserving existing module investments is required while upgrading mainframe infrastructure.
Compatibility & Integration Full compatibility confirmed with all C-size VXI mainframes. Module compatibility extends to A-size and B-size VXI devices. VME card adaptation is possible for modules meeting VXI mechanical and electrical restrictions, though this configuration path remains unsupported by the manufacturer.
Agilent / Keysight E1403C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1403C. 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 E1403C 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.
