Page 12: Chapter 1, Getting Started
Matrix Description The HP E1361A 4 X 4 Relay Matrix module is a B-Size VXIbus and VMEbus register-based product which can be used for matrix switching or scanning. The matrix can operate in a B-Size VXIbus or VMEbus mainframe or (with an adapter) in a C-Size VXIbus mainframe. -
Page 13: Basic Operation
Basic Operation Figure 1-1 shows simplified user connections for a matrix in the 4 X 4 configuration. To connect a specified row (0-3) to a specified column (0-3), close the relay at the crosspoint of the row and column. For example, close crosspoint relay 32 to connect row 3 to column 2. -
Page 14: Typical Configuration
To program the relay matrix using SCPI, you must select the computer language, interface address and SCPI commands to be used. Guidelines to select SCPI commands for the relay matrix follow. See the HP 75000 Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide for interface addressing and computer language information. - Page 15 Matrix Card Numbers The matrix card number depends on the switchbox configuration (single-module or multiple-module) set for the matrixes. (Leading zeroes can be ignored for the card number.) For a single-module switchbox, the card number is always 01. For a multiple-module switchbox, the card numbers are 01, 02,...,nn. The module with the lowest logical address is card number 01, the module with the next-lowest logical address is card number 02, etc.
