Vibration Data collected on four Tape Recorders are to be ana-

lyzed by two Instruments. Each Tape Recorder has 28 chan-

nels. All 28 channels from any of the four Tape Recorders

must be switched as a group to either of the two Instruments

as shown below. The data frequency is 0 to 300 kHz, and the

wiring is coaxial cable with BNC connectors.

GROUP MULTIPLEXERS switch any one of several Groups of Input signals to a single Output

Group, or the reverse, that is, one Input Group to one of several Output Groups.

GROUP MATRICES switch selected Groups of Inputs to selected Output Groups in an NxM matrix

configuration.

Remote computer control via IEEE488 and RS232 is standard. Optional computer controls in-

clude Parallel TTL, Ethernet LAN and USB. Manual Controls are also optionally available on both

the GX Mainframes or the GX Control Units.

Standard CYTEC Switch Modules are available that can switch 8, 16 or 32 sig-

nal wires simultaneously. These modules can be custom configured as Group

Switches to handle large number of signals per switched crosspoint.

The GX Series is used when the required number of sig-

nals to be switched exceeds that available in Standard

Product such as RS Series Matrices and Multiplexers,

which can switch up to 25 wires per crosspoint and are

designed for Data Communications Signals.

The switch module selected is the LX8B/4x2, a four Input to

two Output coaxial switch module with BNC Inputs and Out-

puts. Twenty-eight Modules driven in parallel are needed to

switch the 28 coaxial signals in a 4x2 matrix configuration.

These modules can be assembled in two GX/16-E Expan-

sion Chassis and controlled from one GX/8 Control Chassis.

The Group Switch concept is best illustrated by a practical application such as the one shown

below.
