MODEL 7202-DCE APPLICATION: 50 Ohm Impedance BNC Network Application,

DB9 Remote Port via RS232 ASCII Commands.

All BNC ports are impedance matched to support 50 Ohm equipment. The diagram illustrates a shared test equipment (50 Ohm) connected to the COMMON port sharing between Device A (50 Ohm) and Device B (50 Ohm) connected to the A and B ports. The DB9 Remote accepts ASCII RS232 Serial data commands for Remote Control Operation. Optionally a GUI Interface (Cat No 527910) is available to remotely control the Model 7202-DCE.
