Description
The 4169 Model is a bidirectional crossbar (any input connected to any
output at the time) coaxial switching system; operating between DC to 18
GHz. The system is configured with maximum (10) inputs and (10) outputs,
but can be configured to a smaller crossbar matrix as required. The unit is
unique in the sense that both inputs and outputs are terminated with a 50 W
load and it uses latching coaxial switches. These type of switches have the
benefit of stop drawing current after a path has been selected and stays in its
last position if a power loss occurs. Furthermore, the unit is ideal to be used
for testing, since one can easily access the I/O ports (as they are mounted
on the front panel) to connect and disconnect UUTs.
The unit is equipped with front panel LCD/keypad display for manual and
local control, and remotely it can be controlled via Ethernet (ENET) or GPIB.
The LNET version uses a LXI based protocol, which allows the user only to
control the unit remotely and via a web-browser.
Control Interfaces
Local control (on the front panel):
>> The system is equipped with manual control via a 4-line LCD (4x40)
display and keypad control (except for the LNET version).
Remote Control (on the rear panel): All versions are equipped with
>> RS-232 (DP9 female) connector with Baud Rate 9600 bps
>> CANBus (DP9 male) used for programming the unit
>> SCPI commands
