Agilent E1403C

A/B to C-Size P1 Active Adapter,

1-Slot

Data sheet

• Adapts A- or B-size VXI to C-size VXI

• Provides active extensions of P1 only

• Fits 1-slot or 2-slot (optional) modules

• Provides slave-only capability

Description

The Agilent Technologies E1403C 1- or 2-slot VXI carrier adapts A- or

B-size VXI modules for use in all C-size VXI mainframes. P1, which is

the only connector available, is a fully buffered extension. The E1403C

provides slave-only capability and cannot be used in Slot 0 or with bus

masters. The standard module is 1-slot wide; Option 010 is 2 slots wide,

however, it only connects to the backplane on the left-most slot. Any

number of adapters can be used in an Agilent VXI mainframe.

Many (but not all) VME cards can be adapted for the use in C-size VXI

mainframes using this module if they meet VXI mechanical and electrical

restrictions. However, this is not a supported configuration.

Refer to the Agilent Technologies Website for instrument driver avail-

ability and downloading instructions.

Cables

Cables are required for adapting B-size multiplexers in a C-size main-

frame. The B-size multiplexers require analog bus cables longer than

those shipped, and, therefore, longer ones must be ordered separately

to connect Multiplexer-to-Multiplexer and Multiplexer to the Agilent

E1411A/B C-size digital multimeter. These cables are necessary when

mounting a B-size multiplexer in a C-size adapter because of the differ-

ent spacing and positioning of the analog bus connectors on the B- and

C-size modules. The following cables are available:

1. Agilent E1411A/B DMM to B-size Multiplexer/E1403C Cable

part numbers:

Agilent E1326-61611 Analog Bus Cable, The E1326-61611 is the same

cable used with the B-size cardcage internal DMM configuration.

• Agilent E1411-61601 Multiplexer-to-DMM (FET Multiplexer only).

Order the Agilent E1411-80001 cable kit to get both the E1326-61611

long analog bus cable and the E1411-61601 digital bus cable together.

2. B-size Multiplexer/E1403C to B-size Multiplexer/E1403C Cable

part numbers:

• Agilent E1400-61605 Multiplexer-to-Multiplexer Cable. The E1400-

61605 is the same cable used to connect C-size Multiplexers together.

3. C-size Multiplexer to B-size Multiplexer/E1403C Cable

part numbers:

Agilent E1326-61611 Analog Bus Cable. The E1326-61611 is the same

cable used with the B-size cardcage internal DMM configuration.
