Professional Signal Switching for Test Automation
The LinkBone 15-Way BNC Switch delivers versatile analog and digital signal routing capabilities for demanding test and measurement applications. This rack-mountable multiplexer provides precise signal switching between a common port and fifteen individual ports, enabling efficient test automation workflows.
Operating Modes
Single-Mode Operation
In single-mode, only one of the A to O ports can simultaneously connect to the common port P, functioning as a classic analog multiplexer/demultiplexer. This ensures signal isolation and prevents crosstalk between channels.
Multi-Mode Operation
Multi-mode removes connection limits, allowing multiple ports to connect to port P simultaneously. This flexibility supports complex test scenarios requiring parallel signal routing.
Control Options
Remote Control Methods
- Ethernet Interface: Built-in web server for worldwide remote control via HTTP and Telnet commands
- RS-232 Serial: Direct connection to PLCs and automated test equipment
- Infrared Remote: RC5 remote control for manual operation
Wiring Quick-Start
The P port serves as the common connection point. Connect your signal source or measurement instrument to port P, then route test signals through any of the fifteen A-O ports.
