High Density Signal Switching Solutions
Manage hundreds of channels with simple programming. Connect them. Change them. Verify them.
Forget the hours
and expense of
hand patching
or hard wiring
connections. Enjoy the choice
of front panel setup
or convenient
remote
control from a host computer.
Computer controlled analog signal switching replaces tedious manual
patch panels.
Built-in self test with diagnostics for peace of mind.
464kA High Density Solid State Switch Matrix
The 464kA is a reliable solid-state switch matrix system
that provides computer controlled analog signal switching between 256
inputs and 256 outputs, all in a single mainframe. Save time and reduce
errors on test system setup. Download switch configurations from the
host computer over the network. Built-in self-test with fault
diagnostics.
The 464kA uses its test subsystem to verify the system
integrity. A Go/No-Go test checks the integrity of the current setup.
Running the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) exhaustively tests all possible
switch settings and reports which plug-in modules are defective.
The 464kA system can be controlled from the front panel,
or remotely using command line control or by running an application
program interface (API) on the host computer.
