11713C LXI-Compliant Attenuator/Switch Driver
The 11713C attenuator/switch driver is a LXI-compatible instrument capable of controlling four programmable step attenuators and four microwave coaxial switches.
Quick, Easy Design Validation and Automated Testing
The
Agilent LXI-compliant 11713C attenuator/switch driver provides remote
or front-panel drive control for 4 programmable attenuators and 4 SPDT
switches. The Agilent 11713C can also be used to independently control
up to 20 switches. Designed with both benchtop and ATE environments in
mind, this flexible, stand-alone driver provides an intuitive user
interface, a variety of switching options, software programmability and
remote control features for quick, easy design validation and automated
testing.
An
integrated power supply eliminates the need for an external power
source. Each Agilent 11713C is offered with nine optional plug-in drive
cables to provide point-to-point connection to Agilent programmable
attenuators and switches. The driver response time is less than 10
microseconds.
Fast easy front-panel and remote control of ATE systems
Front
panel push-buttons and an easy-to-read LCD display simplify the setup
of functions such as voltage, TTL functions, IP address, etc. Powerful
software programming and a choice of GPIB, USB or LAN connectivity and
software instrument drivers provide instrument and programming
compatibility.
