The Keysight E1513A is an 8-channel Signal Conditioning Plug-on (SCP) module for VXIbus systems, delivering fixed low-pass filtering and attenuation to condition analog signals for precision data acquisition. Each channel incorporates a fixed low-pass filter with 3 dB cutoff at 7 Hz and a divide-by-16 attenuator, along with input over-voltage protection. This module integrates into compatible VXI data acquisition cards to reduce sensor-based noise and scale signal levels across multiple input types.
Technical Specifications
• Channel Count: 8 channels
• Filter Type: Fixed low-pass filter
• Filter Cutoff Frequency: 3 dB at 7 Hz
• Attenuation: Divide-by-16 per channel
• Protection: Input over-voltage protection
• Interface: VXIbus
– Key Features
• Eight independent fixed low-pass filters isolate low-frequency signals and attenuate higher-frequency noise.
• Divide-by-16 attenuators scale high-level inputs to measurement card input ranges.
• Over-voltage protection safeguards sensitive signal conditioning circuitry.
• Modular plug-on design allows stacking multiple SCP units on a single VXI acquisition card for multi-channel conditioning.
– Typical Applications
• Low-frequency sensor signal conditioning and noise reduction
• Multi-channel analog signal scaling and filtering in data acquisition systems
• Automated test environments requiring precision analog front-end processing
• Industrial measurement systems where sensor noise filtering is critical
– Compatibility & Integration
The E1513A is compatible with the following VXI data acquisition cards: E1313 (supports up to four SCP modules), E1413/B, E1415, E1419, and E1422 (each supports up to eight SCP modules). Multiple E1513A modules can be combined on a scanning analog-to-digital converter to condition a wide range of input signal levels and characteristics. Integration occurs through standard VXIbus architecture within a VXI mainframe.
