Each plug-in has its own unique configuration of relays or digital
testing capabilities, such as:
•
Switch, for connecting individual pairs of inputs together.
•
Multiplexer (mux), for connecting one input to any one of
several outputs.
•
Matrix. A matrix has two groups of channels: a row and a
column. The matrix can connect any row channel to any
column channel. The matrix may make multiple independent
connections at the same time.
•
RF switch, for switching radio-frequency signals via
impedance-matched signal paths.
•
Digital I/O, for a wide range of digital test applications.
