Quick, Easy Design Validation and Automated Testing

The Agilent 11713B attenuator/switch driver provides remote or front-panel drive control for 2 programmable attenuators and 2 SPDT switches. The Agilent 11713B can also be used to independently control up to 10 switches. Designed with both benchtop and ATE environments in mind, this flexible, stand-alone driver provides an intuitive user interface, a variety of switching options, software programmability and remote control features for quick, easy design validation and automated testing.

An integrated power supply eliminates the need for an external power source. Each Agilent 11713B is offered with nine optional plug-in drive cables to provide point-to-point connection to Agilent programmable attenuators and switches. The driver response time is less than 10 microseconds.

Fast easy front-panel and remote control of ATE systems

Front panel push-buttons and an easy-to-read LCD display simplify the setup of functions such as voltage, TTL functions, IP address, etc. Powerful software programming and a choice of GPIB, USB or LAN connectivity and software instrument drivers provide instrument and programming compatibility.
