Agilent E1406A VXI GPIB Command Module C-Size Data Sheet Features Description • 1-Slot, C-size, message-based commander The Agilent Technologies E1406A Command Module is a C-size, 1-slot VXI messagebased commander that provides Slot 0 and Resource Manager functions. It can act as a VMEbus system controller and GPIB (IEEE-488)-to-VXIbus interface device for transparently communicating with any manufacturer’s message-based VXI modules. The E1406A Command Module has FLASH memory for downloadable drivers, so you can program Agilent register-based devices using the high-level SCPI programming language. It also translates SCPI commands for register-based instruments and therefore, • GPIB, RS-232, Slot 0, and Resource Manager • 2 MB RAM • MXIbus protocol support for high throughput • Easy to program as messagebased instruments makes these VXI devices as easy to program as message-based instruments. This command module also includes a MXIbus Resource Manager for VXIbus extensions. This allows you to maintain high-throughput performance in multiple mainframe systems. With its flexible triggering and clock interfacing, you can synchronize the VXI backplane 10 MHz clock to an external TTL signal. Refer to the Agilent Technologies Website for instrument driver availability and downloading instructions, as well as for recent product updates, if applicable.
