Bidirectional Switch Multiplexer: MP Series

Source: Dow-Key Microwave Corp.

The MP series Bidirectional Switch Multiplexer features a 50 ms switching speed, greatly reducing automated testing times. Because coaxial switches have a limited lifespan, this model tracks the cycle count of each position in every switch. The user can also add or remove switches directly instead of sending it back to Dow-Key for service or upgrades.

An Ethernet model extends its use to include built-in webpage access so the user can control the matrix from any web browser, it can also be controlled via its USB port. Dow-Key SCPI commands are available to allow the use to not only control the matrix remotely but to also be embedded in end-user automated software test programs.
