The custom card contains a breadboard area of through-holes
on 0.1" centers for soldering custom circuitry (see
The E8794A may be used to provide routing and breadboard
support similar to that found on the Agilent TS-5430
"Personality Board". Digital I/O, matrix, Aux channels, routing
area and ICA interface connections that were found on the
TS-5430 "Personality Board" are also found on the E8794A.
•
64 Aux Channels (from up to two 32-Pin Matrix Cards),
•
8 system DAC channels,
•
32 event detector channels.
In addition, 32 configuration lines are brought from the custom
card to the TC connectors on the Test System Interface.
Figure 7-1
shows the J2 - J6 connectors used to route channels
and signals to/from the custom card. Each of these connectors
is routed to a breakout area on the custom card. You can make
connections from these breakout areas to your custom circuitry.
A full 16 bits of digital I/O is required to emulate the TS-5430
Series I. The Switch/Load Unit provides 8 channels of digital I/O
and the custom card provides 8 channels of digital I/O. The
custom card digital I/O is the same type of 8-bit digital input
and 8-bit digital output (Open Drain) provided by the
Switch/Load Unit (refer to
card digital I/O is available in breakout area J50 (see
