5.2.2 RSE - Pencil Probe Board (optional)

This board is not applicable at BT17 (EC320, 17.x.x) and BT18 (EC330, 18.x.x) systems.
Adapter board for connection of CW pencil probes.
The RSE board is required for CW-Option.
Note
5.2.3 RFM - (RF-Interface & Beamformer) FE Mainboard
•
EC300/EC310 (BT15/BT16):
The FrontEnd Mainboard supports Tx/Rx for 128 channels only. To extend to 192 or 256 channels, the
