1.1 General
The ROHDE & SCHWARZ Matrix Module B R&S TS-PMB allows the universal inter-
connection of test points and measuring instruments. This can be done locally or using
the analog bus. The R&S TS-PMB can be used in the CompactTSVP and the Pow-
erTSVP (TSVP = Test System Versatile Platform). Typical product test applications are
in the fields of communications, automotive electronics and general industrial electron-
ics, especially for analog In-Circuit Testing with a large number of channels.
The R&S TS-PMB is plugged into the front part of the TSVP chassis.
The front connector ends flush with the front panel of the TSVP chassis and is used for
contacting the UUTs. An adapter frame can also be used if necessary.
At the rear, the R&S TS-PMB is connected with connector X20 to the cPCI backplane
when used in the CompactTSVP or to the control backplane when used in the Pow-
erTSVP. Connector X30 is used to connect the R&S TS-PMB to the analog bus back-
plane. This connector can be used to make connections with other plug-in modules
(e.g. measuring modules) or external instruments.
