SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The SM7100 Microwave Matrix is a member of the VXI Technology SMIP II™ (Switch
Modularity Interface Platform) family. It offers a modular design allowing custom switching
configurations in a single chassis.
The SM7100 is a double-wide, C-size VXI module, which can support customized microwave
switch configurations for many applications.
Using the SMIP II family for microwave switching, the user obtains the following benefits over
other VXI microwave switch solutions:
Density: Up to eight (1x6) microwave relays can be housed in a double-wide VXIbus
slot, saving a complete C-Size slot.
Weight: The miniature relay technology reduces the overall weight considerably. Where
possible, ultralight cabling is used maintaining the total weight under five
pounds.
PROGRAMMING
The SMIP II family of switch modules is programmed using direct register access for fast data
throughput.
Automatic Scanning
A predefined sequence of channels can be programmed into an extensive scan list that can be
incremented by a trigger. This approach relieves the host controller from having to tie up the
VXIbus backplane when scanning.
