The Keysight E1450A is a VXI timing module engineered to generate precise timing signals within VXI-based instrumentation systems. Operating at 160 MHz, this single-slot C-size module delivers configurable pulse widths and delays with flexible triggering capabilities. It synchronizes high-speed data acquisition and control applications by integrating directly into VXI mainframes via the standard VXIbus interface.
Technical Specifications
• Clock Rate: 160 MHz
• Module Configuration: VXI C-size, single-slot
• Programmable Pulse Widths: Configurable
• Programmable Delays: Configurable
• Triggering: External trigger inputs with multiple trigger modes
• VXIbus Interface: Standard VXIbus connectivity
– Key Features
The E1450A provides independent control over output pulse width and delay parameters. External triggering accommodates edge and level-triggered operation, enabling precise timing synchronization across distributed VXI instrument clusters. The module accepts trigger signals via dedicated external inputs with standard signal compatibility for TTL and ECL environments.
– Typical Applications
• High-speed data acquisition synchronization
• Pulse generation for stimulus/response testing
• Multi-instrument VXI timing coordination
• Control system clock distribution
• Waveform generation for specialized test protocols
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for VXI mainframe systems, the E1450A integrates with any VXI-compliant chassis and peripheral modules. Standard SCPI command sets provide instrument control, with native driver support for LabVIEW, MATLAB, C/C++, and Visual Basic environments. The module communicates exclusively through the VXIbus, requiring no external signal routing for primary operation.
