Introduction
The 7711 plug-in module provides an economical, wideband signal routing solution that complements the
DC/low frequency switching and measurement capability of the Model 7700 Switch Modules. The 7711 offers
dual 1 × 4 configurations and can interface with a wide range of external AC instruments, including
oscilloscopes, pulse generators, and signal analysis tools. One channel in each multiplex bank is always closed
to the corresponding OUT.
Item shipped may vary from model pictured here.
The 7711 includes these features:
Signal routing performance to 2 GHz
Switches up to 60 VDC
Rear panel SMA connections
Onboard switch closure counter
If you are using this switching module with the 2700, 2701, or 2750, please see the Model 7711 and
7712 User's Guide, Keithley Instruments document number PA-818.

  • Page 2: Installation

    Model 7711 2 GHz 50 Ohm RF Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Installation Before operating an instrument with a switching module, verify that the switching module is properly installed and the mounting screws are tightly fastened. If the mounting screws are not properly connected, an electrical shock hazard may be present.
  • Page 3 Model 7711 2 GHz 50 Ohm RF Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Before installing or removing a switching module, make sure the DAQ6510 power is turned off and disconnected from line power. Failure to comply may result in incorrect operation and loss of data in the memory.
  • Page 4: Wiring Procedure

    Model 7711 2 GHz 50 Ohm RF Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Before installing or removing a switching module, make sure the DAQ6510 power is turned off and disconnected from line power. Failure to comply may result in incorrect operation and loss of data in the memory.
  • Page 5 Model 7711 2 GHz 50 Ohm RF Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Do not touch live radio frequency (RF) conductors, even at low voltages. RF behaves differently than DC or low frequency AC. Low voltage RF can cause severe burns. RF signals spread out over body areas, generating substantial currents at the points of contact with RF conductors.
  • Page 6 Model 7711 2 GHz 50 Ohm RF Module Instructions for use with DAQ6510 Expansion One switching module configuration is a dual 1 × 4 multiplexer. A single switching module can also be configured as a 4 × 4 blocking matrix. The switching module can be combined with additional modules to further expand its multiplexing and matrix switching capabilities.
