Power Supply Power to operate the coaxial switches can be supplied internally or externally, dependent on the type of coaxial switch used. Circuit • Internal voltages of either +5V or +12V can be selected using jumpers on the board. These voltages are routed through the module from the mainframe backplane. Note Check mainframe power availability before using internal voltages. • External voltages of up to 42Vpk can be connected using the EXTernal POWER terminal block. Caution MAXIMUM VOLTAGE.

Instrument Definition HP plug-in modules installed in an HP mainframe or used with an HP command module are treated as independent instruments each having a unique secondary HP-IB address. Each instrument is also assigned a dedicated error queue, input and output buffers, status registers and, if applicable, dedicated mainframe/command module memory space for readings or data. An instrument may be composed of a single plug-in module (such as a counter) or multiple plug-in modules (for a switch

The logical addresses noted in Figure 1-2 apply to modules installed in an HP 75000 Series B Mainframe (HP Model Number E1300/E1301) or in a mainframe with an HP E1405/E1406 Command Module. See the HP 75000 Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide or the appropriate HP Command Module Manual for more information on switchboxes and logical addressing. Figure 1-2.

SCPI Command You can send SCPI commands in either short or long form. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information. A long form example is: Format Used in This Manual CLOSe (@102) The same command shown without the lower case letters is the short form. The command then becomes: CLOS (@102) Some commands in this manual are shown with brackets ([ ]). These are implied or optional commands that you do not have to execute. For example, the ROUTe command is an implied command and is shown in this man

Setting the Address Switch The logical address switch (LADDR) factory setting is 120. You may have changed the setting during module installation. Valid address values are from 0 to 255. If the Microwave Switch modules are used in a HP E1300/E1301 Mainframe, refer to the HP 75000 Series B System Installation and Getting Started Guide for addressing information. Otherwise, use Figure 2-1 to change the setting. Note The address switch selected value must be a multiple of 8 if the module is the

Selecting the Interrupt Priority The Microwave Switch modules generate interrupts after a channel has been closed or opened. These interrupts are sent to, and acknowledgments are received from, the slot 0 module via the VXIbus backplane interrupt lines. For most applications where the Microwave Switch modules are installed in an HP 75000 Series B or Series C mainframe, these jumpers do not have to be moved. This is because the VXIbus interrupt lines have the same priority and interrupt priorit

Installing Switches on the HP E1369A Because the HP E1369A Microwave Switch modules do not have Microwave Switches installed by the factory, it is necessary to install or connect switches before operating. Determine the number of switches, and whether the switches are to be installed on, or connected to, the module and proceed as instructed below. Installing Switches Installation described for up to three coaxial switches (channels 00-02) is below. Figure 2-3 shows the wiring diagram and mount
