This unit
The Keysight E1460A is a C-size, 1-slot VXI relay multiplexer delivering high-density signal routing for automated test systems. Built around latching armature switches, this register-based module configures into multiple topologies: 64 two-wire, 32 three-wire, 32 four-wire, or 128 single-ended channels. Configuration occurs via SCPI commands or jumper settings on the terminal card, enabling flexible deployment across wire harness testing, cable validation, semiconductor characterization, and PCB diagnostics.

Agilent / Keysight E1460A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1460A. 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 E1460A 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.
