HP E1468A VXI 8x8 Relay Matrix |
The HP E1468A matrix module is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. This module consists of a 64-channel, 2-wire relay component card (uses the same component card as the HP E1460A). A terminal block, that provides 8x8 matrix topology, is included. The HP E1468A matrix switches both high and low on each crosspoint.
Multiple modules can easily be interconnected with the HP
E1468-80002 daisy-chain cable. The HP E1468-80002 daisy-chain cable
allows quick connect and disconnect of one module from another and
is easily attached to expansion connectors on the HP E1468A terminal
blocks. For applications requiring more than 64 crosspoints, the HP
E1465/66/67A relay matrixes are recommended unless your application
requires the high voltage/power capability and superior crosstalk
performance of the HP E1468A matrix.
Note: Configuration software that allows you to easily select
compatible interfaces, controller platforms, and VXI test system
components is available on CD ROM. Order the
"Test System
and VXI Products Catalog and CD ROM" from
the Test & Measurement Catalogs available on this web site.
