The HP/Agilent 11869A is an interface adapter that enables 86200 series RF plug-ins to operate within the HP 8350 Sweep Oscillator Mainframe. It provides the electrical and mechanical connections necessary for full mainframe integration, including HP-IB remote programming of standard 8350 operating features. The adapter includes a modulation select switch for routing the 8350A squarewave modulation signal to each plug-in and a coded plug-in identification switch for proper mainframe interface. Power is derived entirely from the 8350A rear interface connectors.
