Switch Control Unit, HPIB programmable

Agilent (now Keysight) 3488A HP-IB Switch Control Unit, up to 50 Channels for the Boards, see Agilent 444XX,GPIB

The 3488A Switch/Control Unit brings versatile, HP-IB programmable switching to tests requiring multi-channel measurements.

The unit provides signal switching with the integrity and isolation needed for high-performance production test systems. It also offers a flexible, low-cost interconnection for automating experiments on the bench and for developing tests in the lab.

The 3488A is designed to hold up to 5 of the following switch and control modules:

Flexible Switching:

The 3488A is an economical approach to flexible switching through plug-in modules. You can select the right combination of switching functions to meet both performance and budget needs. Testing is simplified by having one solution for connections of low-level DVM inputs, high-level dc and ac power, and microwave signals to 26.5 GHz. Additional devices, such as microwave relays and programmable attenuators, are easily controlled with digital I/O functions. Custom circuitry can also be implemented on breadboard modules.

Versatile Performance:

The 3488A can store up to 40 complete switch configurations for convenient recall in automated test programs. Switch operation can be done with multiple relay closures or with selectable channels in a break-before-make mode. Break-before-make and recallable switch configurations can be combined in a programmable scan list.

The 3488A uses removable screw connectors that provide easily interchangeable wiring for each test. Built-in self-test assures proper operation.
