HP 70612A Interface Module, dc to 6.5 GHz, 1x6 switch

The HP 70612A interface module gives MMS designers an off-the-shelf solution to their interconnection problems. This standard module is a 1 x 6 common highway switch matrix. The frequency range of the 2-slot MMS module covers from dc to 6.5 GHz.

The HP 70612A combines the functions of the HP 70611A switch driver with the switch hardware. In addition to routing signals between sources and devices under test, the HP 70612A features attenuator options for adjusting signal strengths from 0 to 121 dB in 1 dB steps.

Each module comes with front panel indicators and front panel 3.5 mm connectors. Front panel indicators alert you to current switch status. Rear panel RF connectors are also available. This switch matrix can be controlled remotely through HP-IB or manually using any MMS display. You can manually control individual switches or define a special manual interface. You can save and recall multiple switch states using alphanumeric labelsthat you specify. The HP 70612A can remotely or manually control up to 217 additional devices through the use of HP 84940A driver cards installed in other interface modules.
