Solid State Switching Matrix

Source: Wavecrest Corporation
Digital Time System from 2 to 16 channels
The DSM 16S is a rack mountable, dual 8-input binary switch matrix with a bandwidth of over 1.5 GHz. This unit is intended to extend the input capability of a WAVECREST DTS Digital Time System from 2 to 16 channels. Solid state switches make the DSM 16S ideally suited for integration into a high-volume production environment.

The matrix can be controlled manually from the front panel or remotely via the RS-232C port at the back of. Remote control of the DSM-16S via GPIB commands to the DTS makes integration into an automated environment fast, without any special hardware or software.

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