Applications

The HP E1326B and E1411B are high-resolution 5.5-digit multimeters designed for the HP 75000 Series VXI (VMEbus eXtensions for Instrumentation) modular instrument platform, which HP introduced in the late 1980s as a rack-and-stack alternative to bench instruments for automated test systems. These multimeters slot into a VXI mainframe and are controlled via the VME backplane or an external GPIB/IEEE-488.2 controller, making them well suited for automated data acquisition, scanning switchbox measurements, and high-throughput test sequences. The E1326B and E1411B support SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) and register-based programming, allowing integration into both modern and legacy ATE environments. This User's Manual covers the full range of capabilities: single and burst measurements, externally triggered scans, multiplexer configuration, SCPI command syntax, and low-level register programming for maximum throughput. Engineers maintaining HP 75000-based ATE systems, calibration labs, or legacy VXI test benches will find this manual an essential reference. The HP 75000 platform dates from the late 1980s through the 1990s, during the period when VXI was gaining traction as an IEEE-standard successor to proprietary modular instrument buses.
