Agilent E1466A
Description
The Agilent E1466A Relay Matrix Switch is a C-size, 1-slot,
register-based VXI module. This 4x64 matrix switches each
crosspoint—both high and low. The E1466A module provides
the best cost-per-crosspoint for large matrix applications. It
features easy expansion to larger matrixes via a chaining
cable that allows you to interconnect rows and columns on
different modules. A full E1401B 13-slot mainframe can have
up to 3072 two-wire crosspoints.
The E1466A shares the same switch card with the E1465A and
E1467A; each product’s unique terminal block determines the
matrix configuration. Therefore, you can change matrix
topology simply by plugging in the various terminal blocks,
which can be obtained separately. Creating a matrix as large
as 4x256 requires four matrix modules and interconnected
rows and columns on the terminal blocks. All of the
E1465/66/67A matrix modules offer similar densities, with
different row/column sizes and identical performance
specifications. All specifications are identical for this family,
except for crosstalk.

driver availability and downloading instructions, as well as for
recent product updates, if applicable.
Configuration
You can create a larger matrix by adding one or more matrix
modules and interconnecting the E1466A rows on the
terminal blocks with the E1466-80002 daisy-chain expansion
cable. You can interconnect the E1466A rows with the rows of
another E1465A, E1466A, or an E1467A. To create a 4x256
matrix with four E1466A modules requires three daisy-chain
expansion cables connected as shown.
A preferable solution for large matrixes is to use the E1467A
with an expansion terminal block (Option 201/211) and
Z2220A series cables. The E1467A Option 201/211 matrix
expansion terminal block provides an 8x32 matrix
configuration that can easily be expanded. Compared to the
daisy-chain cable (which requires each wire to be screwed
into the screw terminal), the E1467A Opt 201/211 terminal
block gives you quicker access and easier cable connections.
