    50-670A CARD ARCHITECTURE The 50-670A card is an array of up to 101 reed relays factory configured into one of eleven different multiplexer configurations. In the default state, all multiplexer channels are open circuit. Energising a particular channel creates a signal path between the common terminal and the corresponding channel terminal.
