Agilent/Keysight Z2309A

The Keysight Z2309A is a B-size VXI module that provides 72 channels of open collector digital output and relay driver capability for automated test systems. Designed for data acquisition and control applications, this module delivers precise digital switching and relay actuation across high-channel-count configurations, making it suitable for complex test scenarios requiring distributed control logic within VXI chassis environments.

Technical Specifications

The Z2309A offers 72 channels of open collector digital output configured as relay drivers. The module integrates into standard VXI architectures via P1 and P2 multipin connectors on the rear panel. Front-panel RS-232 connectivity enables external control and configuration independent of the VXI backplane.
