    Matrix Description The HP E1361A 4 X 4 Relay Matrix module is a B-Size VXIbus and VMEbus register-based product which can be used for matrix switching or scanning. The matrix can operate in a B-Size VXIbus or VMEbus mainframe or (with an adapter) in a C-Size VXIbus mainframe.

  • Page 13: Basic Operation

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Basic Operation Figure 1-1 shows simplified user connections for a matrix in the 4 X 4 configuration. To connect a specified row (0-3) to a specified column (0-3), close the relay at the crosspoint of the row and column. For example, close crosspoint relay 32 to connect row 3 to column 2.

  • Page 14: Typical Configuration

    To program the relay matrix using SCPI, you must select the computer language, interface address and SCPI commands to be used. Guidelines to select SCPI commands for the relay matrix follow. See the HP 75000 Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide for interface addressing and computer language information.
  • Page 15 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Matrix Card Numbers The matrix card number depends on the switchbox configuration (single-module or multiple-module) set for the matrixes. (Leading zeroes can be ignored for the card number.) For a single-module switchbox, the card number is always 01.

  • Page 16: Initial Operation

    An example program follows which uses Hewlett-Packard BASIC and SCPI language to get you started using the relay matrix. The example assumes an HP 9000 Series 200/300 controller and a Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB). [HP-IB is the Hewlett-Packard implementation of the IEEE 488.2-1987 standard.]...
