HP / Keysight / Agilent 3779B Overview
The instrument contains two identical banks of relays, termed ?Transmit? and ?Receive?. Each bank comprises up to 30 balanced, bi-directional, two-pole changeover switches. The transmit bank enables switching of a single source to any one of up to 30 outputs. In the receive bank, any one of up to 30 inputs can be switched to a common output. To provide a quiet termination for telecommunications equipment, all unlocked channels are terminated in 600 Ohms in series with 2.2uF.
The two switch banks are controlled independently via the HP-IB from the Agilent HP 3779A/B Primary Multiplex Analyzer (sold separately), a computer or a programmable calculator. For automatic test systems, The Agilent HP 3777A can scan, under external program control, through a number of channels in any desired sequence. >
