ODULE NSTALLATION All EX1200 series switch cards must be installed into an EX1200 series mainframe to be used. The mainframe operates on 90 V to 250 V at 50 Hz/60 Hz which is used to supply the cards the dc voltages required for the cards to function properly.
www.vtiinstruments.com The maximum safe voltage for an EX1200 system is determined by the plug-in card with the lowest voltage rating. ICROWAVE ODULE NSTALLATION For the EX1200-7100 Plug-in Module, microwave switch modules can be installed. Before installing a switch module into the EX1200-7100 carrier, ensure that the mainframe is powered down.
VTI Instruments Corp. PPLICATION NVIRONMENTS The EX1200 switching platform supports a wide variety of application environments. The switches can be manually controlled through the embedded, web-based soft front panel or programmatically on a Windows-based PC through the provided IVI VTEXSwitch driver controlled on most platforms through the C++ driver.
www.vtiinstruments.com ECTION 322H WITCHING VERVIEW ENERAL URPOSE WITCHING When selecting switch cards for a test system, the following should be taken into consideration: Power Specifications Minimum Contact Rating Switching Time Bandwidth The relay must be able to accommodate both the voltage, current, and total power that will be switched and all of these specifications should be checked before making a selection.
VTI Instruments Corp. 2-1: S IGURE REAKING ELAYS When programming switches to perform 2-wire and 4-wire measurements, the 2-wire and 4-wire channel names must be used. For “standard” matrix cards (i.e. 2-banks of paired H/L inputs), the 2- and 4-wire name, the 1-wire names is used as the base. The convention is illustrated in...
LOCKS NTRODUCTION VTI offers differential and single-ended terminal blocks (TBs) for many of the EX1200 series switch cards. The terminal blocks can be used to simplify cabling. In addition to this, the differential terminal blocks also provide users an on-board thermistor for cold junction compensation (CJC) when making temperature measurements.
T1 and T2 of the terminal block are connected. Figure 3-2, an EX1200-TB160-1 is shown where T1 and T2 are connected to CH1_1L and 327H CH1_1H, respectively. The channels are indicated in the Terminal Block Pin Mapping discussion for each switch card. EX1200 Series Terminal Blocks...
Either the VTEXScanner driver or the scanner soft front panel can be used to perform this sequence. 1) Set the DMM to measure temperature using the thermistor. Set the DMM function to Temperature. Set the transducer type to Thermistor. Set the thermistor resistance to 10000 (the thermistor is 10 kΩ). EX1200 Series Terminal Blocks...

VTI Instruments Corp. EX1200-7100 P ODULE DC - 26 GH ICROWAVE WITCH ARRIER AND ELAY RIVER The EX1200-7100 is a high-density microwave switch module carrier, designed for use with EX1200 mainframes, extending the platforms switching capabilities to the 26 GHz range. Each carrier can accommodate three miniature microwave switch modules to provide added system flexibility.
Soft Front Panel (for more information on the EX1200 Series soft front panels, please refer to the EX1200 Series User’s Manual, P/N: 82-0127-000.) The following information provides these module’s logical diagrams as well as front and rear panel connector information.
www.vtiinstruments.com 4-67: 7122 L IGURE OGICAL IAGRAM IGNALS WITCH ETAILS Prior to a switch module into the EX1200-7100 enclosure, ensure that has been removed from the mainframe. If the enclosure is already installed into an EX1200 mainframe, remove it from the mainframe to facilitate installation.
RONT ANEL Although soft front panel (SFP) operation is detailed in the EX1200 Series User’s Manual, the EX1200- 7100 has a unique input/output interface that is available when a pass through adapter is used. When the SFP is initially viewed, a PIOx_y (PIO1_2 in Figure 4-5) the slot is viewed. From here, the user can enter the value that will be input or output by the relay driver.
VTI Instruments Corp. EX1200-SMP EX1200-SMP4 C ARRIER ODULE The EX1200-SMP4 is a four slot Carrier Module with an integrated analog backplane that can accept different Matrix Modules. The Carrier Module will plug into a standard EX1208A mainframe and the Matrix modules (IO / Resource cards) will plug into the Carrier Module.
