Abstract
A switching system for interfacing a single channel test equipment with a multi-channel device under test, the switching system including: an input connection for connecting to the single channel test equipment; an N-way switch having an N-way switch input coupled to the input connection, the N-way switch having N switch outputs; N output connections coupled to the N switch outputs, the N output connections for connecting to inputs of the multi-channel device under test; a controller coupled to the N-way switch for controlling a connection between the N-way switch input and one of the N switch outputs.
Claims12
A switching system for interfacing a single channel test equipment with a multi-channel device under test, the switching system comprising:
- an input connection for connecting to the single channel test equipment;
- an N-way switch having an N-way switch input coupled to the input connection, the N-way switch having N switch outputs;
- N output connections coupled to the N switch outputs, the N output connections for connecting to inputs of the multi-channel device under test;
- and
- a controller coupled to the N-way switch for controlling a connection between the N-way switch input and one of the N switch outputs.
A method for interfacing a single channel test equipment with a multi-channel device under test, the method comprising:
- coupling an input connection to the single channel test equipment;
- coupling an N-way switch having an N-way switch input to the input connection, the N-way switch having N switch outputs;
- coupling N output connections for connecting to inputs of the multi-channel device under test, the N output connections coupled to the N switch outputs;
- using a controller coupled to the N-way switch to control a connection between the N-way switch input and one of the N-way switch outputs.
