OverviewThis configuration guide will help you configure yourPXI attenuator/switch driver module with the expansiveportfolio of Keysight Technologies, Inc., RF andmicrowave step attenuators and electromechanicalswitches.For more detailed product information and specifications,please refer to the following:– M9170A Data Sheet (literature no. 5991-0130EN)– M9170A Flyer (literature no. 5991-0053EN)Key Features and BenefitsThe M9170A is a one-slot PXI attenuator/switch drivermodule that provides drive control for the KeysightTechnologies, Inc. RF and microwave step attenuatorsand electromechanical switches. This cost effectivesolution offers limitless topologies for creating variousconfigurations for signal routing and signal conditioning,driving external switches and attenuators through its dual20-pin header.– Drive up to 12 external SPDT switches, or 4 externalSP4T/6T switches, or 12 transfer switches, or 2external attenuators. Improve testing efficiency whilemaximizing the PXI chassis slot utilization, whichultimately improves testing efficiency.– Dual voltage supply of 5V and 24V and dual drivingmode for pulse and continuous, ensures biasingcompatibility for most switches on the market, henceincreasing system flexibility.– Soft front panel provides a dynamic dashboard viewand control of the connected attenuators or switches.Indicated on the front panel is the selected devicemodel and the subsequent switch path or attenuationlevels.– Point-to-point interface cable options are available forconnecting driver to switching device. Intuitive anddirect configuration for all Keysight switches andattenuators.
