The Keysight/Agilent/HP E1301B is a B-size, 9-slot VXI mainframe engineered to house and power VXI modules with pre-installed E1326A or E1326B 5.5-digit multimeter capability. This ready-to-deploy platform combines improved dual-fan cooling, a built-in command module with GPIB interface, and a front panel for manual control and troubleshooting. The mainframe supports a 16-bit data transfer bus and complies with VXIbus Specification Revision 1.4, making it suitable for demanding B-size module applications in both rack-mounted and standalone configurations.
