Agilent / Keysight E1301A HP 75000 Series B with front panel

The Agilent/Keysight E1301A is a B-size VXI mainframe belonging to the HP 75000 Series. It serves as a robust platform for VXI-based test and measurement systems, offering a versatile environment for integrating various VXI modules. The E1301A is distinguished by its front panel, which includes a keyboard and display, enabling local operation and troubleshooting without the need for an external controller via HP-IB. This feature makes it particularly suitable for remote applications. It is functionally identical to the HP E1300A but includes the added benefit of local control capabilities.
