Datasheet

Agilent Technologies’ 14-slot AXIe chassis and system module enables multi-module system capabilities that allow test engineers working in radar, antenna, high-energy physics and digital to set up large systems with all modules in a single chassis, providing better module-to-module synchronisation and performance.

The new M9514A AXIe chassis and M9521A system module provide a high-performance platform for large channel count systems with a single connection to the host computer. A test engineer can connect multiple AXIe and PXIe chassis for ultimate system-design flexibility.

The 14-slot chassis and system module meet AXIe 1.0 and 2.0 specifications and provide Front-panel Gen 2 PCIe x8 for connecting multiple chassis and gigabit LAN interfaces to connect to the host computer, 62 differential local bus lines with very large data paths between adjacent modules, Innovative cooling design—high power with 200W cooling per slot.

Instrument control is enabled through a soft front panel and programmatic interfaces tuned to the user’s choice of application development environment. Using Agilent’s IO Libraries Suite allows fast and easy integration into existing test environments.

Agilent’s rapid repair turnaround—with industry-leading calibration core exchange strategy and standard three-year warranty—maximizes system uptime to reduce the total cost of ownership.
