More Information

Overview Manuals VXI System Role Host Communication Configuration Recovery Application
  • One-slot C-size VXI command module with Slot 0 and resource-manager capability
  • GPIB and RS-232 host connectivity with support for MXIbus system configurations
  • Real-time clock, VXI trigger resources, CLK10 support, and expandable memory

E1406A acts as the embedded command and communication module for a VXI mainframe rather than as a stand-alone measurement instrument.

It can provide Slot 0 timing and resource management while commanding message-based VXI devices and linking the chassis to GPIB or RS-232 control.

Before replacement, archive startup and configuration files, then verify chassis slot, controller ownership, addresses, serial settings, trigger/clock routing, installed RAM, firmware, and host software.

Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for E1406A are confirmed during quotation.

  • Provides Slot 0 and resource-manager services when assigned those roles
  • Commands message-based VXI instruments in the mainframe
  • Controller ownership must not conflict with another embedded or external controller
  • GPIB connects the VXI system to automated test hosts
  • RS-232 settings and cabling must be preserved for serial control
  • MXIbus configurations require the complete system topology and driver set
  • Archive startup files, logical addresses, memory use, and module inventory
  • Restore trigger, interrupt, CLK10, and controller-in-charge settings
  • Verify self-test, instrument discovery, host commands, and timed operation
  • Embedded VXI mainframe control and resource management

  • Trigger- and clock-coordinated control of message-based VXI instruments
Description
E1406A is an Agilent one-slot C-size VXI GPIB command module for embedded VXI mainframe control.

It performs Slot 0, resource-manager, system-controller, GPIB and RS-232 gateway, trigger, clock, and message-based commander functions rather than measurement acquisition.

Before replacement, preserve the chassis resource map and startup files, then verify Slot 0 ownership, GPIB or RS-232 settings, installed memory, trigger and CLK10 routing, firmware, host drivers, and application compatibility.

Technical notes
Agilent E1406A must match the VXI Slot 0 and resource-manager architecture, chassis map, GPIB or RS-232 settings, trigger/CLK10 routing, installed memory, startup files, firmware, and host drivers.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How can a buyer confirm that Agilent E1406A is needed as a VXI command module rather than a measurement card?
Confirm that the chassis needs Slot 0/resource-manager, system-controller, GPIB/RS-232 gateway, or embedded command functions; E1406A does not replace a measurement module.
What VXI chassis information must be retained before replacing Agilent E1406A?
Retain the physical slot, Slot 0 ownership, logical addresses, resource-manager configuration, installed module list, trigger routing, CLK10 source, interrupt assignments, and host connection.
Why should startup files and memory configuration be checked on Agilent E1406A?
User files, downloaded drivers, configuration data, and command sequences may depend on the installed RAM size and battery-backed memory; replacing hardware without a backup can prevent the system from starting correctly.
What can cause a host to lose communication after Agilent E1406A replacement?
An incorrect GPIB address, RS-232 format, controller-in-charge setting, cable, termination, startup configuration, or host driver can block communication even when the module passes power-on self-test.
Can Agilent E1406A be moved into a chassis that already has another Slot 0 controller?
Only after the VXI architecture is reviewed. Two devices must not claim incompatible Slot 0, resource-manager, or system-controller roles in the same mainframe.
What should be validated when Agilent E1406A participates in VXI trigger or CLK10 distribution?
Confirm the source and destination of each trigger, timing polarity, CLK10 ownership, backplane routing, and the expectations of all affected instruments before running automated tests.
What records should be retained after commissioning Agilent E1406A?
Retain the module label, memory configuration, firmware identity, chassis map, GPIB/RS-232 settings, startup files, driver versions, trigger/clock tests, and verified host-control results.
