Rack Mount Modular Test System 50Ω DC to 18 GHz The Big Deal Customizable Front Panel Layout USB and Ethernet Control User-Friendly GUI and DLLs Included Fast Turnaround, Within 2 Weeks! Product Overview To simplify and accelerate the development and delivery of custom test solutions, Mini-Circuits developed the ZTM-series of modular test systems. The design consists of a 3U, 19-inch, rack-mountable chassis with six open hardware windows in the front panel, each of which may be outfitted with one of several component choices to meet your system requirements. This modular structure allows a wide variety of custom configurations with exceptionally fast turnaround times within 2 weeks or less! ZTM units may be equipped with your choice of absorptive electromechanical SPDT, SP4T, SP6T, and transfer switches and programmable attenuators with 0 30, 60, 90, 110, and 120 db attenuation range. With the use of Mini-Circuits low cost HandFlex interconnect cables, multiple matrix configurations can be easily created by the user. All models come with USB and Ethernet-TCP/IP (HTTP and Telnet protocols) control options, allowing setup flexibility and easy remote test management. All ZTM modular test systems come supplied with our user-friendly GUI software, API objects for Windows environments, complete programming instructions for 32- and 64-bit Windows and Linux operating systems, user s manual, and all accessories required for immediate use. Key Features Feature User Configurable Test System Fast Delivery Ethernet-TCP/IP-HTTP and Telnet Protocols (Supports DHCP and Static IP) USB HID (Human Interface Device) AC Mains Power Supply GUI software, DLLs, programming instructions, USB & Ethernet cables, and power cord included Advantages Flexible design allows you to specify the exact test system you need without the cost of unnecessary features. Your custom test system will ship within 2 weeks of placing an order, accelerating your project completion time. test racks can be controlled from any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, or even a mobile device with a network connection and Ethernet-TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet protocols) support. Using a VPN would allow remote control from anywhere in the world. The can also be controlled via USB connection. Plug-and-Play, no driver required. Compatible with Windows or Linux operating systems using 32 and 64 bit architecture. Compatible with worldwide 110/240V AC power supplies, allowing easy, convenient setup. The comes ready to use out of the box with all software, accessories, and instructions needed for immediate operation included. Page 1 of 5
