CONTROL MODULES
IF-5C IEEE488/RS232 16 and 32 Channel Control
This Module has both the IEEE488 (Talk/Listen) and the RS232
features detailed in Applications Bulletin AP-5. This combination
module is used on all 16 or 32 channel chassis.
CXBS COAXIAL BUS STRIPS
The Bus Strips are used to connect between CXR Coaxial
Switch Modules and are designed for maximum bandpass and
minimum stub length. They are available to interconnect up to 16
modules. Can not be used with Type G or Type 2A Modules.
CX/G AMPLIFIER
This amplier has one BNC input and up to 3 BNC outputs. It
can be used to restore signal levels or as a Signal Distributor to
3 Devices, as shown in Fig. 15. It has a Bandpass of DC to
200 MHz with a 4 volt p/p output and preset gains from 1 to 16.
Impedances on both inputs and outputs can be preset for im-
pedance matching.

IF-5 IEEE488/RS232 64 and 128 Channel Control
This Module has both the IEEE488 (Talk/Listen) and the RS232
features detailed in Applications Bulletin AP-5. This combination
module is used on all 64 or 128 channel chassis.
WARRANTY
CYTEC Corp. warrants that all products are free from defects in
material or workmanship for a period of ve years.
PATCH PANELS
Patch Panels are available to convert the standard switch
module coaxial connectors (typically BNCs or SMAs) to a type
specied by the customer, including Triax, Dual BNCs, and Twin
BNCs. Please contact Cytec with your specic requirement.
SOFTWARE HELP
Free drivers and/or sample programs are available for the most
commonly available application programming languages.
CXR/1x8-PD POWER DIVIDER MODULE
This module is a 1x8 power divider intended for use between 5
MHz and 500 MHz. The module has a unity gain amplier so
that all 8 outputs maintain the signal input level (+/- 2 dB) in the
given frequency range. The module is available with SMA or
BNC connectors. A schematic is shown in Fig. 16.

The software runs on Windows XP or later. Source code
available on request.
IF-6 LAN INTERFACE
This Module uses Ethernet TCP/IP to provide control from a
Local Area Network to the Cytec RS232 port. It can be added
to existing IF-5C or IF-5 Control Modules to give an Ethernet
option or purchased with them so you can have all three control
interfaces (GPIB, RS232 and 10BaseT Ethernet).
IF-9 Ethernet LAN / RS232 Control for all Chassis
This module has 3 ports available as 10/100 Ethernet and
an RS232 com port. All ports are available and active at all
times. Telnet default port 23 can be turned off.
