Keithley Instruments will broadcast a web-based seminar titled “Tips and Techniques for Designing Cost Effective, Efficient Switch Systems” on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 15:00 CEST (UTC/GMT: 13:00). The free seminar presents the basics of switching, from types of switches to switching systems and shares valuable tips on designing cost effective and efficient test systems which incorporate more than one device under test (DUT).
The seminar investigates the necessary signal routing and looks at how to switch these signals from DUT to source or measure to ensure system integrity. Designing the switching to meet the needs of the system requires knowledge of the DUTs, the number of DUTs, signal levels, speed required, and equipment that performs the routing of the signals. Presented by Keithley lead application engineer Dale Cigoy, the seminar is aimed at test engineers and system designers in production environments who wish to get a better understanding of switching in test systems.
It covers the following topics:
- Types of switches (relays, transistors, etc.)
- Types of switching systems (multiplexer, matrix, etc.)
- Signal types to be routed (DC, AC, RF, etc.)
- Using multiple types of signal routing and switching in one system
- How to improve speed and accuracy of the system
