Description
The Agilent E1465A/E1466A/E1467A matrix modules are "instruments" in
the slots of a VXIbus mainframe. Each module is assigned an error queue,
input and output buffers, and a status register.
NOTE
Instruments are based on the logical addresses of the plug-in modules. See
the Agilent 75000 Series C Installation and Getting Started Guide to set the
addresses to create an instrument.
Each matrix has two parts: a component module and a terminal module (See
Figure 1-1). The component module contains 256 latching relays
implemented as four 4 X 16 submatrixes. The terminal ,modules convert
these submatrixes into a 16 X 16 (Agilent E1465A), 4 X 64 (Agilent
E1466A), or 8 X 32 (Agilent E1467A) matrix. The terminal module
matrixes are two-wire crosspoint switching (HI and LO). The matrix
module number reported in response to the SCPI SYSTem: commands is
determined by the terminal module installed. With no terminal module
installed, the model number is reported as E1466A.

Specifications
Specifications are listed in Appendix A of the Agilent
E1465A/E1466A/E1467A Relay Matrices User’s Manual. These
specifications are the performance standards or limits against which the
modules may be tested.

Serial Numbers
Devices covered by this manual are identified by a serial number prefix
listed on the title page. Agilent Technologies uses a two-part serial number
in the form XXXXAYYYYY, where XXXX is the serial prefix, A is the
country of origin (A=USA), and YYYYY is the serial suffix. The serial
number prefix identifies a series of identical instruments. The serial number
suffix is assigned sequentially to each instrument. The serial number plate is
located on the right-hand shield near the backplane connectors.
