Details

The DSM-16 is a binary tree matrix with over 3 GHz bandwidth and two groups of 8 inputs, significantly extending the input capacity of the WAVECREST DTS series of Digital Time Systems. Its advanced design allows signals to pass through with minimal degradation and distortion, maintaining a low noise, high accuracy environment.

The slimline, rack-mountable DSM-16 may be controlled manually from the front panel or remotely via the RS232C port on the back of the DTS system. Remote control of the DSM-16 via GPIB commands to the DTS makes integration into an automated environment fast, without any special hardware or software.

The DSM-16 includes an RS-232C cable for connecting to the WAVECREST DTS series of Digital Time Measurement products.
