R&S®TS-PTR Signal Transmission Module

The R&S^®TS-PTR is an accessory module for transmitting DUT signals through the system equipment of the R&S^®TSVP family. The module's design as a passive switching board protects the signal-routing lines that are connected via the front-panel plug-in connector of an R&S^®TS-PTRF module. When it comes to conducting and connecting a large number of signal paths through the instrument and then to the DUT, this standardized signal transmission module is fundamentally more cost-efficient than a project-specific cabling solution.

The module is mechanically compatible with the R&S^®TS-PIO3B and is used as a switching and distribution module in place of an R&S^®TS-PIO3B module. In order to route DUT signals in slots 3 to 14, which are used for T & M purposes, by means of an R&S^®CompactTSVP or an R&S^®PowerTSVP, an additional rear I/O module of the R&S^®TS-PRIO4 is used.

• Routing of DUT signals via the front-panel R&S^®TS-PTRF module and the R&S^®TS-PRIO4 rear I/O transmission module in slots 3 to 14
• Routing of DUT signals in the area of slots A1 and A2 to the R&S^®TS-PTR signal transmission module via the front-panel R&S^®TS-PTRF module. In place of an R&S^®TS-PIO3B module, this approach creates an alternative cabling solution for routing DUT signals to the backplane. To make this possible, the R&S^®TS-PXB2 backplane extension module likewise includes the backplane connectors
• Wiring of 3 × 8 lines through a chassis, i.e. 24 passive lines between X20 and X10
• Provision of +5 V and +12 V, fuse-protected on the front connector (X10)
