Connections are made via front panel mounted high quality RF coaxial connectors,

3.5 mm (f) or SMA (f) for 50 Ω.

The M9155/6/7C switch modules give you the most reliable and repeatable RF &

microwave switching available in the market. Their applications are mainly in automated

test equipment for example, RF communication, engineering verification and RF

parametric measurement where low insertion loss and ultra high isolation are critical.

These modules provide individual cycle count trackings for each of the switch paths.

Cycle count is incremented per each complete Open-Close sequence. The individual

cycle count is user-retrievable, either via scripting or the Soft Front Panel. Engineers can

use this feature for scheduled maintenance to reduce unexpected system downtime.

Hardware platform

Compliance

The M9155/6/7C is PXI compliant, using either a PXI-H, PXI-1 or cPCI slot. Designed

to benefit from fast data interfaces, the products can be integrated with other test and

automation modules in PXI, CompactPCI, and Hybrid chassis. The PXI format offers

high performance in a small, rugged package. It is an ideal deployment platform for

many automated test systems. A wide array of complementary PXI products is currently

available. Products include multimeters, waveform generators, local oscillators, digitizers,

and switch multiplexers.

Software platform

Drivers

Keysight‘s switches come complete with software drivers for Windows XP, Windows

Vista, Windows 7, and LabVIEW. Also included are application code examples for

LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio, C, C++, MATLAB.

Soft front panel

The M9155/6/7C’s graphical user interface guides developers through the module

setup process. Users can quickly configure the module parameters. The interfaces are

implemented using the IVI standard supporting both IVI-COM and IVI-C.

Easy software integration

Keysight’s M9155/6/7C comes complete with software drivers for Windows XP, Windows

Vista, Windows 7, and LabVIEW. Also included are application code examples for

LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio, C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, and MATLAB, which

provide M9155/6/7C set up and basic switching functionality. The application code

examples are easily modified to quickly integrate the module into your measurement

system.

Calibration intervals

The M9155/6/7C is factory calibrated and shipped with an ISO-9001, NIST-traceable

calibration certificate.
