This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E1499B is a C-Size, 2-slot VXI controller that bridges VXI systems and GPIB instruments, enabling integrated test automation across heterogeneous instrument ecosystems. This VXIplug&play interface module expands VXI system capabilities by providing direct GPIB connectivity, allowing seamless control of legacy and current GPIB equipment alongside native VXI devices without requiring existing GPIB software to be rewritten.
Technical Specifications
Form Factor: C-Size, 2-slot VXI controller Interfaces:- GPIB (IEEE-488)
- RS-232
- Parallel ports
- HPIB (Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus)
- HP-HIL (Hewlett-Packard Interface Loop)
- SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
- Integrated LAN
- Clock In/Out connections
- Trigger In/Out connections VXI Integration:
- Direct VXI backplane access in GPIB-VXI configurations
- Command Module–based control of VXI instruments
- Support for message-based and register-based VXI devices
- VXI-11 protocol compatibility
Key Features GPIB emulation via Keysight IO Libraries Suite eliminates the need to modify existing GPIB application code. VISA and SICL software support enable vendor-agnostic instrument communication. VXIplug&play driver compatibility ensures plug-and-play device integration.
Typical Applications Automated test systems requiring mixed VXI and GPIB instrument control; equipment migration from GPIB-only to hybrid VXI architectures; leveraging existing GPIB instrument investments within modernized VXI platforms.
Compatibility & Integration Fully compatible with VXI environments and GPIB-compliant instruments and controllers. Keysight IO Libraries Suite - including VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) - provides cross-vendor hardware and software interoperability.
Agilent / Keysight E1499B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1499B. 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 E1499B 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.
