This unit
The Keysight E6234A is a VXI Pentium PC Controller that functions as an embedded processor within VXIbus systems, eliminating the need for external command modules. This C-size, 2-slot module integrates directly into compatible mainframes, providing full computational control and direct access to VXI devices, system memory, and trigger signals. The controller operates at 166 MHz and features a full 32-bit wide data path (D32) on the VXIbus, enabling message-based communication with instrumentation.
Technical Specifications
- Processor: 166 MHz Intel Pentium
- Memory: 32 MB RAM (expandable to 128 MB)
- Storage: 2.16 GB hard drive (typical range 1 GB to 10 GB)
- Form Factor: C-size, 2-slot VXI module
- VXIbus Data Path: Full 32-bit wide (D32)
- Graphics: SVGA with 2 MB VRAM
- Floppy Drive: 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB
Key Features
- Full 32-bit D32 VXIbus interface for direct device control and high-speed data transfer
- Standard LAN connectivity for network integration
- Multiple I/O interfaces: SCSI-2, RS-232, GPIB, ECP parallel port, dual PS/2 ports
- One EXM expansion slot for optional interface cards (GPIB modules available)
- Message-based architecture for efficient instrument communication
- SICL/VISA support and VXIplug&play compatibility
Typical Applications The E6234A is the control engine in automated test systems for R&D, manufacturing, and quality assurance. Its embedded architecture consolidates control functions within the VXI chassis, enabling direct manipulation of VXI resources, multi-instrument coordination, and high-speed data acquisition without external computer interfaces.
Compatibility & Integration The controller operates within E84XXA series, E1401B, and E1421B mainframes. Standard operating system support includes Windows deployment. GPIB cards (such as -22/EXM-22 variants) integrate through the EXM slot for legacy instrument control.
Agilent / Keysight E6234A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E6234A. 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 E6234A 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.
