Microwave Switch/Attenuator Driver
Using Dual Drive Switches and Attenuators
Many microwave
switches and attenuators have a paired drive input.
Typically, one drive is electrically connected to the lower channel number
in a bank and one connected to a corresponding upper channel number.
For example, a dual drive switch should have its ‘State A’ coil connected
to channel 21 and its ‘State B’ coil connected to channel 31 on bank two.
The 34945A drives dual drive devices in pulsed mode only. Pairing two
channels automatically configures the channels to pulsed mode (you must
explicitly un- pair the channels before continuous drive mode can be
re- enabled). Settings and parameters for pulsed drive mode are given on
page 217
.
Pairing Channels
With dual drive devices the channels in each bank may be paired (refer to
the channel numbering description on
page 212
). For example, one drive
might be ‘State A’ and one drive ‘State B’ on a switch. Pairing channels
allows settings and control to be shared between the two drives.
To pair channels use the
ROUTe:CHANnel:DRIVe:PAIRed:MODE
command.
When paired, the lower and upper channel number on a bank are
combined. For example, the following command pairs channel 1 and
channel 11 on bank 1.
ROUTe:CHANnel:DRIVe:PAIRed:MODE ON, (@1101)
You may also pair all channels in a bank by specifying a range of
channels:
ROUTe:CHANnel:DRIVe:PAIRed:MODE ON, (@1101:1108)
Typically, pairing is performed using the lower channel numbers in the
bank. You may set channel parameters using either the lower or upper
channel number. The settings will apply to both channels in the pair.
You must have the channel drive turned off before attempting to pair
channels. Channel drive is turned off by sending the
ROUTe:RMODule:DRIVe:SOURce OFF
command.
Once a channel is paired, only pulse drive is allowed on that channel.
Setting any of the following parameters applies the setting to both of the
paired channels:
•
ROUTe:CHANnel:DRIVe:PULSe:WIDTh
•
ROUTe:CHANnel:DRIVe:TIMe:RECovery
•
ROUTe:CHANnel:DRIVe:TIMe:SETTle
•
ROUTe:CHANnel:VERify:ENABle
