Introduction
The U2751A USB modular switch matrix offers a high
quality, low cost switching solution for automated test. It can
operate as a standalone or modular unit when used with the
U2781A USB modular instrument chassis.
The U2751A is a compact 48, two-wire modular switch
matrix which is controlled remotely over a USB interface via
the Agilent Measurement Manager software. The U2751A can
also be programmed using the provided drivers or via SCPI
commands.
The U2751A has the following features.
• 32 two-wire cross-points organized in a 4 rows by 8
columns configuration
• any combination of rows and columns can be connected
at a time. Multiple channels can be closed at the same
time
• relay cycle counter
The U2751A offers you the most flexible connection path
between your device under test (DUT) and your test
equipment, allowing different instruments to be connected to
multiple points on your DUT at the same time.
Using the Agilent Measurement Manager, you can instruct
the matrix to make or break any of the 32 row-column
intersections over the USB interface. More details will be
covered in the Agilent Measurement Manager help file.
