Description
The Agilent Technologies E8460A High-Density Reed Relay
Multiplexer is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module.
This 256-channel multiplexer, using reed relay switches,
offers a fast, reconfigurable, high point-count switching
topology. It is designed for applications requiring fast
scanning rates by the use of fast action reed relays. This
single-slot multiplexer extends the choices of multiplexers
available to the system engineer.
The E8460A can be programmed into individual topologies;
some common examples are shown in the table below.
Many other combinations of these topologies are supported
(in addition to those shown in the table). Two-wire, three-
wire, and four-wire measurements can be configured.
Refer to the Agilent Technologies Website for instrument
driver availability and downloading instructions, as well as
for recent product updates, if applicable.
