Programmable/Switch Controllers: (pg 132-134) The Model 8210A Attenuator / Switch Controller provides a flexible, low cost solution for the control and operation of electromechanical switches and programmable step attenuators using standard communication interfaces. The 8210A represents a new concept in device control applications for bench test and subsystem designs. o Designed to interface with Aeroflex / Weinschel's line of programmable attenuators (3200T & 150T) and other electromechanical devices. o Simplifies your bench test setups and subsystem design. o Available in two standard communication interfaces: - Model 8210A-1:GPIB/IEEE-488 (HS-488 ready) - Model 8210A-2:RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 Each model contains similar capabilities and provides switch-selectable parameters to tailor the interface's operation. Standard 8310 Series designs house and control various Aeroflex / Weinschel Programmable Attenuator Models (3200T, 150T, and 4200 Series via front panel controls or standard communications interfaces including GPIB (IEEE488) and RS-232/RS-422/RS485. The standard units combine the features of the Aeroflex / Weinschel 8210A Device Controller with a front panel user interface to form a flexible, easy to use solution. Most 8310 Series are single channel configurations where RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted Ports A & B but can be configured for up to four channels of attenuation, RF switching, or other functions and other features such as: o Multi-Channel attenuation paths (up to 4 input/ outputs). o Relative vs. Nominal attenuation step function. o Wide choice of Frequency & Attenuation Ranges. - dc to 1, 2, 3, 18 & 26.5 GHz up to 127 dB Solid-State (GaAs FET & PIN) Relay Switched 50 & 75 Configurations o High Accuracy & Repeatability. o Easily mounted into racks or cabinets designed per EIA RS-310 or MIL-STD-189. 100 W Hot-Switchable High Power Attenuator Unit: (pages 129-131) o o o o o Available in 0-15 dB or 0-31 dB Configurations DC to 13 GHz Operation Power Handling up to 100 Watts average High Accuracy & repeatability IEEE-488 & Standard Serial Interfaces o Relative vs. Nominal attenuation step function. o Bus Controlled Programmable Attenuator Units 83 5305 Spectrum Drive, Frederick, MD 21703-7362 TEL: 301-846-9222, 800-638-2048 Fax: 301-846-9116 web: www.aeroflex-weinschel.com email: sales@aeroflex-weinschel.com Revision Date: 3-1-07
