Astronics 1260-150 - RF

Carte fille multiplexeur 10 (1x4) SPST, 500 MHz

The Racal Instruments™ 1260-150 is an RF multiplexer plug-in  relay card for the Adapt-a-Switch™ carrier. It quickly and easily plugs into the front of the Racal Instruments™ 1260-100 and 1260-101 Adapt-a-Switch™ VXIbus Carriers or Racal Instruments™ 1256 GPIB/Ethernet and 1256L (LXI Core 2011 Compliant) switching mainframes.

The 1260-150 is intended for use with function/pulse generators, universal counter/timers, oscilloscopes, high-speed digital test units and other instruments involving high-frequency or fast-pulse signals.

As all relays on the 1260-150 are electromechanical, all inputs/outputs are interchangeable to meet the test requirements. The coaxial connector housing (shell) is included with each 1260-150; however, the connector pins must be purchased separately. Cables that are supplied with coaxial pins at both ends, and that have been tested up to 1GHz, are an option and may be ordered in 2, 6 or 12-foot lengths. With the cable cut in half, you can support two channels per cable and alleviate the need for a special crimp tool. See ordering information on the last page of the data sheet.

The Racal Instruments™ Option 01T interface controls the 1260-150, using both register-based and message-based operation. Refer to the Option 01T data sheet for product specifications and features such as include, exclude, and scan lists; relay coil-current monitoring; and user-defined path names and reset states.

Adapt-a-Switch™ includes VXIplug&play support frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWindows™/CVI and LabVIEW™.
