Controlling the Mini-Circuits Switch Matrix
Mini-Circuits offers multiple methods of controlling our switch matrices. You can:
Use the supplied windows program to control the switch matrix via USB (see
section 3.1).
Use the supplied windows program to control the switch matrix via Ethernet
(HTTP or Telnet protocols) (see section 3.2).
Access the switch matrix internal GUI using common web browser software (see
section 3.2).
Use the supplied DLL files to create your own control interface (see Mini-Circuits
Programming Handbook for details).
Use the supplied USB interrupt codes to create your own control interface (See
Mini-Circuits Programming Handbook section 2.2 for details).
Use the commands described in the help file and Mini-Circuits Programming
Handbook to control the switch matrix remotely via HTTP or Telnet.
