The EX1200-6216HV is an RF switch module designed in a star configuration. A star switch
allows any channel to be connected to any other channel. This configuration approach also allows
for the creation of simple matrices (i.e. 8 x 1 x 8).
Additionally, for applications that require the switching of high voltage probes or transient power
supply signals, the EX1200-6216HV provides the capability of switching up to 500 V and up to
250 MHz.
The EX1200-621HV can be controlled programmatically using IviSwtch-compliant calls. Both
path level programming and individual relay control are available. Refer to the host driver
documentation for additional details.

Figure 4-8 provides a logical diagram of the switch module
and identifies the switches used by the module. This information can be used for individual relay
control through the driver. Both single-wire and two-wire programming modes are available.

sensitive, mercury switches. This module must be installed in an upright position and this position
must be maintained in order for these switches to function properly.
