7001
Switch/Control Mainframe
80-channel
The Model 7001 is a half-rack, high density, two-slot mainframe that sup-
ports the widest range of signals in the test and measurement industry .
DC switching capabilities from nanovolts to 1100V and femtoamps to 5A,
as well as RF and optical switch support, make the Model 7001 a versatile
production test tool for a wide array of applications .
Built-in scan control eliminates the need for the computer to control every
step of the test procedure . Simply program the 7001 to control channel
spacing, scan spacing, and the number of scans . A built-in non-volatile
memory stores up to 100 complete switch patterns . You can include these
memory locations as part of the scan list .
Up to 80 channels of 2-pole switching.
Each slot of the 7001 can
accommodate up to 40 channels . This means fewer switch cards are
required, reducing the amount of switching hardware needed . Higher density also provides extra
capacity and flexibility .
Analog backplane.
The 7001’s analog backplane is used by the high density switch cards . The back-
plane eliminates intercard wiring and increases configuration flexibility . Two cards can be connected
through the backplane to create a 1×80 multiplexer, a 4×20 matrix, or a multiplexer/matrix combina-
tion that provides matrix row expansion .
Channel status display.
See the status of every channel simultaneously . The vacuum fluorescent
display of the 7001 shows the open/close status of each channel in the mainframe simultaneously . The
graphical display pattern makes it much easier to configure a test system, make modifications, or debug
an existing program . The status of the cards in both slots is displayed side by side on the same screen .
Easy to set up and use.
The 7001 has a number of built-in features that make it easy to set up, run,
change, or modify . It conforms to IEEE-488 .2 and SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instru-
ments) . All aspects of the instrument can be programmed from the front panel and over the IEEE bus .
Trigger Link.
Trigger Link is a high speed trigger bus that provides simple trigger coordination
between the Model 7001 and other instruments . This bus eliminates GPIB communication delays
during scanning to increase overall system throughput dramatically .
17 switch/control cards available.
The 7001 switch cards accommodate a broad range of signals,
maintain very high accuracy, and will not degrade signal quality . By minimizing signal errors, these
cards will prevent degradation due to offset voltage, isolation resistance, and leakage current .
With its broad range of available cards, the 7001 provides multi-pole switching . Cards such as the
7011 can be used in either 2- or 4-pole configuration . If a card does not have the pole capacity
required, the 7001 can still accommodate the application—just select the
CARD PAIR function . It allows the channel closures in both slots to be
synchronized for up to 8-pole switching .

Matrix cards are dis-
played in row-column
format. only the available
rows and columns of the
card are displayed. rows
are horizontal and col-
umns are vertical.
Matrix crosspoints are
entered in row-column
format. The first num-
ber selects the card, the
second is the row, and
the third number is the
column.
Multiplexer card dis-
play. The first row across
represents channels 1
to 10. The second row is
channels 11 to 20. only
the available channels are
displayed.
