The Agilent E1488A instrument memory module is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI device. It offers a convenient way to extend the memory of an instrument in 2 MB increments (Opt 1B2) up to 16 MB.
Several VXI instruments that make use of the local bus may use the E1488A for high-speed data transfers. Compatible products include: E1429B, E1430A, E1437A, E1431A, E1432A Digitizers, and E1485C Digital Signal Processor. A common data transfer protocol was designed to ensure data integrity during high-speed transfers. It implements a full handshake for each byte of data, even with the high-speed digitizers. The E1488A memory is single ported, not FIFO. It can either store or send data, but not both simultaneously.
The E1488A offers a configurable memory size by mounting the memory chips on plug-in circuit boards. The memory size can be increased in the field simply by plugging in additional memory boards and setting the configuration switches. Multiple memory cards may be placed in adjacent slots to form a larger memory system.
Product Family: E1488A, E1488-A, E1488 A, 1488A, 1488-A, 1488 A
