This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E9851A is a C-size, 2-slot VXI embedded PC controller designed for integration into Keysight VXI mainframes. It combines a 700 MHz Pentium III processor with Windows NT 4.0 to deliver message-based instrument control and automated test system management. The controller addresses applications requiring reliable VXI infrastructure, data acquisition, and multi-instrument coordination within a compact mainframe-embedded form factor.

Agilent / Keysight E9851A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E9851A. 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 E9851A 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.
Agilent / Keysight E9851A price
This Agilent / Keysight E9851A is listed at $5,650. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Agilent / Keysight E9851A calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Agilent / Keysight E9851A is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers all module-specific parameters per manufacturer datasheet, output accuracy and linearity, frequency accuracy, and VXI register and trigger bus compliance. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
