FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
A functional block diagram is provided in Figure 1.2. The Multiplexer Module is powered by a +5V input via Compact
PCI connector J1. The interface to the user test equipment is via the front panel mounted 200-way SCSI type
connector, J2. A bank of relays are energised via control signals from storage registers U8 to U20. The storage
registers are addressed by PCI bridge U1 to output the required signal. Module conguration is determined by
hardwired links and data stored in EEPROM U7. PCI Bridge U1 is congured by EEPROM U2.
