Risk of board and instrument damage
Please
turn off the R&S
ZNB
before mounting an internal RFFE-GPIO extension
board R&S
ZN-B15. A hot plug installation is not supported and can damage board
and instrument.
Current and voltage measurements (variants 03 only)
For test purposes, variants 03 of the R&S
ZN-B15/-Z15 can apply constant, pin-spe-
cific output voltages not only to the GPIO pins but also to the individual RFFE pins.
Furthermore it can measure the (resulting) voltages/currents at these pins using suita-
ble shunt resistances. The firmware takes 500 samples per millisecond (and pin) and
calculates the average voltages/currents over the configured measurement time.
RFFE Cable with adapters (R&S
ZN-Z25)
A 2m ribbon cable for connecting a DUT to the RFFE GPIO interface – along with a set
of adapters – is shipped with each RFFE GPIO extension board. It splits the 25-pin
connector of the RFFE GPIO interface to four 10-pin socket connectors. The adapters
provide several different pin configurations.
This interface cable/adaptor kit can also be ordered separately from Rohde & Schwarz
(R&S
ZN-Z25, order no. 5202.9238.02). For a detailed pin description, see the
R&S
ZN-Z25 data sheet.
