The Keysight E1430A is a C-size VXI digitizer module delivering 10 MSa/s sampling with 23-bit resolution for precision measurement and signal analysis. This register-based, one-slot instrument combines a two-pass digitizer architecture with DSP-based real-time digital filtering, programmable gain conditioning, and large FIFO memory to capture transients, analyze spectra, digitize intermediate frequencies, and record complex waveforms across demanding applications.
