Agilent/Keysight E1330A

The Agilent/Keysight E1330A is a VXI module designed for digital data acquisition and control applications. It functions as a quad 8-bit digital input/output module, offering versatility in interfacing with various systems. This module is B-size and occupies a single slot within a VXI chassis.

### Technical Specifications

* **Module Type:** Quad 8-bit Digital Input/Output Module
* **VXI Form Factor:** B-size, 1-slot
* **Ports:** Four independent 8-bit digital I/O ports.
* **Port Configuration:** Each 8-bit port can be individually configured in software for either input or output operation.
* **Logic Polarity:** Ports can be configured for positive or negative true logic.
* **Data Transmission:**
* Individual 8-bit data transmissions.
* Ports can be combined for byte (8-bit), word (16-bit), and long word (32-bit) data transmissions.
* Bit-level data transmissions are also supported.
* **Handshake and Control:**
* Each port includes three handshake and control lines.
* These lines can be used independently or combined for word/long word data transmission, particularly when using SCPI programming.
* The flag line from each port can be utilized independently or aggregated.
* **Interrupt Handling (E1330A vs. E1330B):**
* The E1330A implements “release on register access” (RORA) for its interrupt circuitry. This means the interrupt request line remains asserted until the Port Control/Status register is accessed.
* The E1330B, a related module, uses “release on interrupt acknowledge” (ROAK), aligning with most other VXI cards.
* **Compatibility:**
* Can be used with command modules such as E1300A, E1301A, E1306A, and with VXI modules E1405A/B and E1406A.
* Direct backplane control using C-SCPI, ISCPI in SICL, and plug-and-play drivers are not supported with the E1330A due to its RORA interrupt implementation. The E1330B supports these drivers.

### Interfaces

* **Digital I/O:** Four independent 8-bit digital I/O ports.
* **Handshake/Control Lines:** Three per port.
* **VXI Interface:** Standard VXI backplane interface for integration into VXI systems.

### Physical

* **Form Factor:** B-size, 1-slot VXI module.

### Compatibility

* **VXI Systems:** Designed for use within VXI (VME eXtensions for Instrumentation) systems.
* **Command Modules:** Compatible with Agilent/HP command modules E1300A, E1301A, and E1306A.
* **Other VXI Modules:** Compatible with Agilent/HP VXI modules E1405A/B and E1406A.
* **Software/Driver Limitations:**
* Does not support direct backplane control via C-SCPI, ISCPI in SICL, or plug-and-play drivers due to its interrupt handling mechanism (RORA).

### Electrical Characteristics

* **Logic Level:** Compatible with TTL logic levels.
