Agilent E6174A
32-Channel Event
Detector Module
The Agilent E6174A 32-Channel Event Detector (formerly the Agilent 
Z2902A) comes with cables and an Agilent 91421B ICA connector. The 
Event Detector provides the capability to analyze 32-channel input event 
states and timings. The events are stored in memory on the board, then the 
events can be read back by the controller for event analysis. Either the 
Agilent E6174A's internal sampling clock may be used or an external clock 
can be selected to expand the measurement time.
Switch/Jumper Settings Figure 2-10 shows the Agilent E6174A logical address switch with the 
switch shown in the factory setting. Set the logical address to match the VXI 
mainframe slot number for a one mainframe system. For a two mainframe 
system, set to the slot number plus 16, if in mainframe #1, or to the slot 
number plus 32, if in mainframe #2. Refer to “VXI Module Locations And 
Logical Addresses” on page 32. The Interrupt Priority is always set to 1. 
Cabling The Agilent E6174A Event Detector is directly connected to the mass 
interconnect. Placement of the connector is based on the algorithm described 
in “Direct Connect ICA Detector/Sources” in Chapter 4 on page 63. The 
Agilent E3751-61601 Twisted Pair cable (#9) is used as shown in Chapter 4 
on page 63.
