Applications Engineers at 1-800-KEITHLEY (U.S. and Canada only). The Model 7711/7712 is a single-pole dual 1 × 4 RF Multiplexer module (8 channels, no measurement capability). The 1 × 4 multiplex is a cascading tree design — one of the channels of each bank is always connected to a common out. The 1 × 4 multiplex is also referred to as a single-pole 4-throw (SP4T) switch.
(1 of 4 tree structure). Also, channels 1 and 5 are normally closed to OUT A and OUT B, respectively. NOTE The Model 7711/7712 relays are set to close channels 1 and 5 a few seconds after either a power cycle or a *RST command is issued (see Figure 1 for a schematic).

Wiring procedure WARNING Do not exceed the maximum specifications for the Model 7711/7712 module. Refer to Appendix A for specifications. The default closed channels are 1 and 5 — the lowest number in each bank. At power-up, the lowest numbered channel in each bank will always be closed.
For the Model 7711/7712, multiple channel operation provides control of one or two Model 7711/7712 modules in a Model 2700/2701 (or up to 5 in a Model 2750). OUT A automatically switches as appropriate for channels 1 – 4, and OUT B automatically switches as appropriate for channels 5 –...
DMM measurements None of the channels of the 7711/7712 module are connected to the internal DMM (the channels cannot be connected to the backplane). If your test system requires DMM measurements, you can use a measure card in one of the other mainframe slots or you can use the front panel inputs of the Model 27xx.
:SPARameters <string> If the card in this slot is not a valid RF card (Model 7711, etc.), then a -221, “Settings Conflict” error is returned. Any valid ASCII information can be stored in the string space; it is not error checked in any way.
The card is organized into banks of channels, and one channel must always be closed within that "single, no-open" type — bank. The Model 7711 is representative of this class with two banks of 4 channels each. Returns either a 1 or 0. (For a 7711/7712 card, a 1 is returned.)
Model 2700/2702 to have an additional 6µV offset uncertainty when measuring DC voltages. For the Model 2750, the precision low level circuitry may cause uncertainty of 30µV. Moving the Model 7711/7712 to a higher number slot will reduce this uncertainty.
