more than one source at the same time. Therefore, it is important to make sure

that dangerous or unwanted conditions are not created by these connections.

General Purpose Switching

You can use General Purpose (GP) switches to control power connections to your

DUTs, control status indicators, or actuate external power relays or solenoids. The

GP switches for the 34980A are available in two switch configurations as shown

below.

Form C switches are also called Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) and contain a

normally-open (NO) and a normally-closed (NC) contact. Form A switches are

also called Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) and contain a normally open (NO)

contact, which is either open or closed.

RF and Microwave Switching

A variety of RF and microwave switch modules are also available for the 34980A.

This includes RF multiplexers (34941A, 34942A), SPDT switching from dc to 20

GHz (34946A, 34947A), and a switch/attenuator driver module (34945A) that

allows you to control switches or attenuators external to the 34980A mainframe.
For more information, see

“Introduction to the Plug-In Modules for the 34980A”

on page 209.

Form C

Form A

CAUTION

The 34946A and 34947A support only 24 VDC coil options for the N1810

switches. If the proper voltage option (Opt. 124) is not used, the switches

could be damaged. N1810 switches also require option 201 “D” subminiature

connectors and option 402 Position Indicators.
