IGURE A-17: CONFIGURED RELAYS — SW1 THROUGH SW4

Note that the First drive line for each switch already matches the example circuit. As the relays

were added, the System Configurator determined the ports available and automatically added the

relays to the available drive lines. If necessary, the relays can be tied to other drive lines by

changing the value in the First drive line drop menu.

At this point, the relays have been fully configured. They have been successfully connected to

RDB drive lines as well as interconnected via wires. Next, the attenuator will be added to the

system. To add an attenuator, select selecting Add Attenuator from the Add menu. In the

example, an “Agilent 84904” is used. Select this component from the Add new attenuator

prompt drop menu. Name the component “Attenuator_1” and click the Add button to add it to the

system.

The attenuator has now been added to the configuration. Again, the System Configurator

successfully placed the component in the correct location by placing the attenuator at drive line

K1_25. Complete the attenuator’s set up by setting the Pin (IN) and Pin (OUT) to the appropriate

wire using the drop menus provided.
