1 General Information 1.1 Introduction The Dow-Key Microwave MS, MP, CB Switch Matrix series are electromechanical RF matrices. They come equipped with ENET (Ethernet) or GPIB (IEEE 488) port which allows the user to easily access the matrix remotely. This manual addresses the GPIB (IEEE 488) version. Other interfaces included are an RS-232 port, a USB (used as virtual serial port) and a CAN Bus port. The 1U models are 1 Rack Unit high (1.75”) and come equipped with a LCD/keypad front panel display for manual (Local) operation. These models are not intended to be used to power or control anything other than Dow-Key supplied switches. Connection of other CAN Bus products or other devices not described herein will void quality certifications and the warranty. This user manual covers all three matrix series since most features are the same among the various models. The user shall focus on the matrix series of interest and skip any section that does not pertain to his/her matrix. Information specific to your model (like technical specifications and RF configuration) can be found in appendices at the end of this manual. 1
