Switch Options

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.

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 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.

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.

There are no electrical or mechanical options available for the E1364A Switch Module.
