Agilent E1418A
8/16-Channel
Digital/Analog
Converter Module
The Agilent E1418A is an 8 or 16 channel digital-to-analog converter
module. Each channel can be configured for either voltage or current output
mode. When configured for voltage output, voltages in the range of -16.0 to
+16.0 Volts can be set. When configured for current output, currents in the
range of -0.02 to +0.02 Amps can be set. The channel output mode can be
programmatically set, or it can be forced to either voltage or current by
mechanical jumpers on the terminal block. The E1418A can be configured
for Isolated or Non-Isolated channels.
Switch/Jumpers Figure 2-3 shows the Agilent E1418BA logical address switch with the
switch shown in the factory setting. Set the logical address to match the VXI
mainframe slot number for a one mainframe system. For a two mainframe
system, set to the slot number plus 16, if in mainframe #1, or to the slot
number plus 32, if in mainframe #2. Refer to “VXI Module Locations And
Logical Addresses” on page 32. The Interrupt Priority is always set to 1.
Keep the other switches in the default position, as shown.
