The Agilent/Keysight E5900A is a board test system engineered for manufacturing defect analysis and functional testing of electronic assemblies. It delivers high-speed digital and analog test capabilities paired with in-circuit emulation functionality. The system provides essential processor control operations—run, break, reset, and single-step—enabling direct interaction with target processors during test execution. Code download and memory/register modification capabilities allow engineers to load firmware, alter processor state, and validate behavior without removing components from the board.
Technical Specifications
• Processor control: Run, break, reset, single-step operations
• Code download to target processor
• Memory and register modification on target processor
• Standalone emulation probe architecture—each option supports specific processor families with dedicated documentation
– Key Features
• High-speed digital and analog test performance
• In-circuit emulation via debug port interface
• Direct processor state manipulation during execution
• Modular probe design for processor-specific implementations
– Typical Applications
• Manufacturing defect analysis of electronic assemblies
• Functional testing of processor-based boards
• In-circuit firmware validation and debugging
• Memory and register-level diagnostics
– Compatibility & Integration
The E5900A emulation probes integrate with the Keysight 16700A Series logic analysis system through the target processor’s debug port. This integration enables synchronized logic capture and processor-level control within a unified test environment. Each E5900A option is a standalone product designed for specific processor architectures, with independent documentation and probe configurations.
