This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E1673A is a 1-slot, C-size VXI module that generates SONET/SDH transport overhead. It operates as a specialized component within the Agilent Broadband Series Test System (BSTS), enabling transport layer overhead signal generation and manipulation for broadband communications testing. This product is discontinued by the manufacturer; however, inventory remains available through select third-party resellers that maintain support for end-of-life equipment.

Compatibility & Integration The E1673A integrates directly into the Agilent Broadband Series Test System. Installation requires a compatible VXI mainframe with available C-size slots. While manufacturer support has ended, documentation and technical assistance for this module may be sourced through third-party vendors specializing in legacy test equipment.
Agilent / Keysight E1673A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1673A. 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 E1673A 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.
