Probe Recognition
5.2.2 RSE - Pencil Probe Board (optional)
This board is not applicable at BT17 (EC320, 17.x.x) and BT18 (EC330, 18.x.x) systems.
Adapter board for connection of CW pencil probes.
Note
The RSE board is required for CW-Option.
5.2.3 RFM - (RF-Interface & Beamformer) FE Mainboard
•
EC300/EC310 (BT15/BT16):
The FrontEnd Mainboard supports Tx/Rx for 128 channels only. To extend to 192 or 256 channels, the
RSX - (Beamformer Receiver/Transmitter) Extension
board is required.
•
EC320/EC330 (BT17/BT18):
The FrontEnd Mainboard supports Tx/Rx for 192/256 channels. It does not need RSX Extension board.
