This unit
The Keysight XGS2 is a modular chassis platform engineered for network testing across security, performance, functional, and conformance applications. This 3RU compact system supports Ethernet speeds from 100 Mbps to 400 Gbps, delivering flexible testing capabilities in both benchtop and rackmount environments. The XGS2 accommodates three chassis variants
XGS2-SD, XGS2-SDL, and XGS2-HSL - scaled for standard and requirements.

Agilent / Keysight XGS2 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight XGS2. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight XGS2 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Agilent / Keysight XGS2 price
This Agilent / Keysight XGS2 is listed at $8,500. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Agilent / Keysight XGS2 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Agilent / Keysight XGS2 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 analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
