T3SP-Series Operator's Manual
11. RF-Multiplexer (optional Hardware)
T3 time-domain reflectometers can be operated with an external unit to ex-
pand the number of channels that can be acquired in parallel (see Fig. 14).
The control of the multiplexer is fully integrated in the Seunis software, in-
cluding the opportunity to perform a TTC/12TC calibration for all channels
separately. Please note that the multiplexer must be connected to the com-
puter while starting the software.

11.1 Assigning Channels to Samples
If a multiplexer unit is detected by the software, an additional Mux column
is added to the Sample List (see Fig. 15), indicating the multiplexer channels
of the samples. Furthermore the currently selected multiplexer channel is
displayed in the status bar of the Main Window and in the upper-left corner
of the oscilloscope display.
The multiplexer channel can be selected in the RF Multiplexer Dialog, shown
in Fig. 16. The dialog can be opened via the Main Window menu entry Extras
