Programmable Attenuators Models 8310 & 8311 Programmable Attenuator Units IEEE-488 RS232\RS422/RS485 Now Available with Ethernet Control! Description Aeroflex / Weinschel’s 8310 and 8311Series Programmable Attenuator Units represent a new concept in programmable attenuation for bench test and subsystem applications. Standard 8310 Series designs house and control various Aeroflex / Weinschel Programmable Attenuator Models (3200T, 150T, and 4200 Series) via front panel controls or standard communications interfaces including GPIB (IEEE488), Ethernet and RS-232/RS-422/RS485. This series combines the features of the Aeroflex / Weinschel 8210A Device Controller with a front panel user interface to form a flexible, easy to use solution. Features o Provides a flexible, easy to program, low cost solution for your bench test/calibration setups and subsystem applications. o Multi-Channel attenuation paths (up to 4 input/outputs for 8310 & up to 6 input/outputs for 8311) o Relative vs. Nominal attenuation step function. o Wide choice of Frequency & Attenuation Ranges. - dc to 1, 2, 3, 6 & 18 GHz - NEW dc to 6 GHz Models - up to 127 dB - Solid-State (GaAs FET *& PIN) - Relay Switched o Models with Ethernet Option - Specify when ordering. o Accuracy & Repeatability. o Designed to interface with Aeroflex / Weinschel’s line of digitally controlled programmable attenuators and other electromechanical devices. o Designed to interface with industry standard communication interfaces: - GPIB/IEEE-488 (HS-488 ready) - RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 - New Models with Ethernet Control (10 BaseT) o Rack Configurable: Model 8310 Series can be rack mounted either as a single unit using Rack Mounting Kit (P/N 193-8033-1) or two Model 8310's can be mounted together using Rack Mounting Kit (P/N 193-8033-2). These kits fit into any rack or cabinet that is designed per EIA RS-310 or MIL-STD-189. Rack ears are supplied with Model 8311 Series units. Most 8310 Series are single channel configurations where RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted Ports A & B but can be configured for up to four channels of attenuation, RF switching, amplification or other functions. Multiple programmable attenuators can be used inconjuction with other coaxial devices such as switches, power combiners, directional couplers, and filters creating single or multichannel subsystems. Multi-Channel 19” Rack Size Versions Applications Applications for the 8310 and 8311 Series range from providing control of a single Programmable Attenuator in a bench test/lab environment using a PC and a terminal emulator, to complex system applications where the 8310/8311 Series are employed to control many devices to create custom/ semi-custom subsystems to reduce overall design cost. Aeroflex / Weinschel can provide a variety of custom designed driver interfaces for various devices, such as RF switches, relays, pin attenuators, motorized step attenuators, displays, and other devices, as well as complete subsystem design and integration services.
