2. PURPOSE

The Apogee Labs model 2273 Digital Matrix Switch is designed to support programmable signal routing of up to 256 signal inputs to any of up to 256 signal outputs. These may be grouped as 128 x 128 signal pairs. A typical application involves directing the outputs of bit synchronizers (data and clock) to the inputs of decommutation equipment in a telemetry ground station.

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Two subassemblies comprise the AL2273 system. The signal handling interface modules are housed in a double high circuit card chassis that is usually mounted at the rear of a 19”-RETMA electronic equipment rack. Up to 16 Input modules are installed in the top half of the chassis and 16 Output modules are installed in the bottom half of the chassis. Each module supports 16 signal paths, input or output. In most circumstances, each signal path is supported by a separate connector such as the BNC type. Control and display are accomplished using the Control Chassis, which is usually mounted on the front of the equipment rack.

Control of signal routing paths is affected by any of two methods: Direct Entry to the front panel Touch-Screen Display,

Remote Control by way of the Ethernet port using Instruction-Line entry using the Native Network ASCII Transfer mode.

Storage and Retrieval of multiple Configuration definitions is provided locally within the Control Chassis as well as through the USB port to a compatible memory device.
