HP E1367A, E1366A manual Typical Tree Configuration

Tree Configuration Figure 2-3 shows a typical tree configuration which uses two RF multiplexers to provide a 1 x 12:1 multiplexer. This configuration provides isolation of test points while maintaining characteristic impedance. With tree configuration, signal delay time is more than doubled since the signal must pass through two channel banks plus extra cabling. Keep cables as short as possible, especially between channel banks, to minimize delay.
