11713A Operating and Service Manual 2-7
Installing the Agilent Technologies 11713A Attenuator/Switch Driver
Connecting to Attenuators and Switches
❏
Use the two plug-in drive cables supplied with the driver to connect
to Attenuators and the multi-pin plugs on the rear panel.
These attenuator cables have 12-pin connectors that may not be usable
on some equipment. In these instances, the cable may be modified by
removing a connector. A 9-wire cable with only one connector is also
available. (Refer to Table 1-3.)
Table 2-2 describes the cable wire colors/connector pin numbers and
corresponding status of the front panel pushbutton indicators.
To drive a simple non-latching relay, only one wire in a pair needs to be
used for the ground. Refer to Figure 2-7 for a typical relay-driving
schematic.
CAUTION
Do not drive the 87222C/D/E using the S9 or S0 outputs from either the
banana plug outputs, or from pins 3 or 4 within the Atten X and
Atten Y Viking sockets, both located on the rear panel of the 11713A.
