Each RF path can be closed by applying ground (TTL “High” for Option T24) to the corresponding “drive” pin. In general, all other RF paths are simultaneously opened by internal logic. See Figure 2 for drive connection diagrams. Figure 2 Drive connection diagram for Option 161 and Option 100 Keysight L-Series Operating and Service Manual...
