Introduction
Manual Contents
This manual has three chapters and two appendixes:
• Chapter 1 - Introduction summarizes manual contents, warranty
status, specification compliance, and includes a description of the
breadboard module.
• Chapter 2 - Configuring the Agilent E1490C describes module
hardware and dimensions, explains how to install the breadboard and
terminal module, terminal module options, and discusses operation
of the backplane interface circuits on the module. It also provides a
typical application example showing user circuits connected to the
backplane interface circuits.
• Chapter 3 - Using the Agilent E1490C shows how to use the
module in a VXIbus system.
• Appendix A - Agilent E1490C Breadboard Specifications lists the
hardware specifications for the Agilent E1490C module.
• Appendix B - Parts List, Component Locator, and Schematics
provides Agilent part numbers and descriptions of all parts supplied
by Agilent Technologies. A complete component locator and
schematic of the Agilent E1490C digital backplane interface is
included.
Specification Compliance/Warranty
The Agilent E1490C Breadboard Module is designed in full compliance
with the VXIbus System Specification (Revision 1.4).
WARNING To prevent shock, use only wire rated for the highest input voltage
and disconnect all field power before removing terminal block
cover or assembly. Do not exceed 125 VACrms or 150 VDC on the
terminal module connector.
The Agilent E1490C warranty is different than the standard Agilent
Technologies warranty statement, located at the front of this manual. While
Agilent Technologies is responsible for defects in materials and workmanship
of the blank printed circuit board and supplied hardware, Agilent is not
responsible for the performance of your custom-designed circuitry. In addition,
Agilent Technologies is not responsible for damage to or improper operation of
your VXI mainframe or other plug-in modules caused by the Agilent E1490C
Breadboard Module.
