Switch Description
The Agilent E1364A Switch Module is an "instrument" in the slots of a
VXIbus mainframe. As such, it is assigned an error queue, input and output
buffers, and a status register. The switch has 16 channels of Form C relays.
Each channel includes a relay with common (C), normally open (NO), and
normally closed (NC) contacts.
NOTE Instruments are based on the logical addresses of the plug-in modules. See
Chapter 1 of the E1364A User’s Manual to set the logical address of the
switch module.
Switch
Specifications
Switch module specifications are listed in Appendix A of the E1364A
User’s Manual. These specifications are the performance standards or limits
against which the instrument may be tested.
Switch Serial
Numbers
Switches covered by this manual are identified by a serial number prefix
listed on the title page. Agilent uses a two-part serial number in the form
XXXXAYYYYY, where XXXX is the serial prefix, A is the country of
origin (A=USA), and YYYYY is the serial suffix. The serial number prefix
identifies a series of identical instruments. The serial number suffix is
assigned sequentially to each instrument.
The serial number plate is located on the backplane connector. If the serial
number prefix of your instrument is greater than the one listed on the title
page, a Manual Update (as required) will explain how to adapt this manual
to your instrument.
Switch Options There are no electrical or mechanical options available for the E1364A
Switch Module.
