The Keysight (formerly Agilent) 87130A is a 3 1/2 inch, full-width System II attenuator/switch driver capable of driving up to 248 bistatic electromechanical switch or attenuator sections. The Keysight (formerly Agilent) 87130A is controlled over GP-IB via Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) commands. It has been designed for use in both ATE switching systems and computer-controlled bench top applications. The Keysight (formerly Agilent) 87130A has no front panel controls. Manual control is realized through an ITG driver and a computer controller. The Keysight (formerly Agilent) 87130A can drive 31 switches via seven additional Keysight (formerly Agilent) 84940A driver cards.
Features
- Controls up to 248 switch and/or step attenuator sections
- Simple programming through GP-ITG and GP-VEE
- Switch position sensing
- SCPI compatible
- Drive Capacity: Internal Driver: 31 relays; one Keysight (formerly Agilent) 84940A driver card is installed within the instrument
- External Drivers: 217 additional relays; up to 7 additional Keysight (formerly Agilent) 84940A driver cards can be daisy-chained external to the Keysight (formerly Agilent) 87130A. Each Keysight (formerly Agilent) 84940A can drive 31 relays
- Voltage: 24 V ?3.0 Vdc (Miswiring the 24 V wire will cause catastrophic driver board failure)
