Introduction
The U2751A USB modular switch matrix offers a high
quality, low cost switching solution for automated test. It can
operate as a standalone or modular unit when used with the
U2781A USB modular instrument chassis.
The U2751A is a compact 48, two-wire modular switch
matrix which is controlled remotely over a USB interface via
the Agilent Measurement Manager software. The U2751A can
also be programmed using the provided drivers or via SCPI
commands.
The U2751A has the following features.
• 32 two-wire cross-points organized in a 4 rows by 8
columns configuration
• any combination of rows and columns can be connected
at a time. Multiple channels can be closed at the same
time
• relay cycle counter
The U2751A offers you the most flexible connection path
between your device under test (DUT) and your test
equipment, allowing different instruments to be connected to
multiple points on your DUT at the same time.
Using the Agilent Measurement Manager, you can instruct
the matrix to make or break any of the 32 row-column
intersections over the USB interface. More details will be
covered in the Agilent Measurement Manager help file.

Inspection and Maintenance
Initial Inspection
When you receive your U2751A, inspect the unit for any
obvious damage such as broken terminals or cracks, dents,
and scratches on the casing that may occur during shipment.
If any damage is found, notify the nearest Agilent Sales
Office immediately. The front of this manual contains the
warranty information.
Keep the original packaging in case the U2751A has to be
returned to Agilent in the future. If you return the U2751A
for service, attach a tag identifying the owner and model
number. Also include a brief description of the problem.
Electrical Check
Chapter 4, “Service Information” on page 43 will provide the
complete verification procedure. The procedure will verify to
a high level of confidence that the U2751A is operating in
accordance with its specifications.
General Maintenance
Any repair that is not covered in your modular product manuals should
only be performed by qualified personnel.
NOTE
1 Power off your module and remove the power cord and
I/O cable from your device.
2 Remove your module from the bumper casing.
3 Shake off any dirt that may have accumulated on the
module.
4 Wipe your module with a dry cloth and install the
bumper back in place.

U2922A Terminal Block
The U2922A terminal block is an optional accessory to be
used with the U2751A. The U2922A which weighs
approximately 100 g and has screw-type terminals, offers you
a convenient and simple way of making connection to the
switch matrix for prototyping applications or an actual
system deployment. It allows the user to configure a wide
variety of routing options and matrix topologies.
The U2922A pin configuration is in accordance to the 25-pin
male DSub connector of the U2751A as shown in the
following:
R represents “Row” and C represents “Column”.
H represents “High” and L represents “Low”.
Figure 1-2 U2922A pin configuration
You may also develop your own terminal block by using a
compatible mating 25-pin female DSub connector to the front
panel.
Ensure that your design meets the clearance and creepage requirements
for high voltage application as defined by IEC/EN 61010-1.

Getting Started
Chassis Installation
The L-Mount kit is to be installed to your U2751A module.
The following instructions describe the simple procedure of
installing the L-Mount kit and your module in the U2781A
chassis.
1 Unpack the L-Mount kit from its packaging.
2 Remove your U2751A module from the bumper casing.
3 Using a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the L-Mount kit to
your U2751A module.
4 Insert your U2751A module into the U2781A chassis with
the 55-pin backplane connector positioned at the bottom
of the module.
5 Once you have slotted the module into the chassis, tighten
the screws of the L-Mount kit to secure the connection.

Switch Control
A matrix switch connects multiple inputs to multiple
outputs. A matrix is arranged in rows and columns. For
connect four sources to eight test points as shown in
Figure 2-1.
Any column can be connected to any row by activating the
corresponding relay that connects the column to the row as
shown in Figure 2-1. Each cross-point relay on this module
has its own unique channel label representing the row and
column. For example, channel 302 represents the cross-point
connection between row 3 and column 2.
Be aware that it is possible to connect more than one source
to the same point with a matrix. It is vital to make sure that
these connections do not create dangerous or unwanted
conditions.
Note: Three-digit channel numbers are derived from
the intersection of the rows and columns, with the
last two digits representing the columns. The
intersection shown represents channel 202
(Row 2, Column 2)

Service Information
Checking Defective Relay(s)
It is recommended to have the relay(s) checked when it reaches 10 million
cycle counts. The relay cycle count can be obtained by using the Agilent
Measurement Manager or sending the following SCPI command:
NOTE
DIAGnostic:RELay:CYCLes? (@<ch_list>)
To check for any defective relay, the equipment required is a
digital multimeter with continuity feature.
1 Close the particular relay(s). For example: The relay
located at Row x Column y.
2 By referring to the connector configuration of the DSub
connector, connect one of the DMM test leads to pin RxL
and another test lead to pin CyL. The DMM should
indicate that these two pins are connected or shorted.
3 Once this is done, use the same method and perform the
same test on pins RxH and CyH. These two pins should
be connected or shorted as well.
4 Now, open the particular relay(s). Using the same method,
check if pins RxL and CyL are disconnected. Perform the
same test on pins RxH and CyH as well.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
CAUTION
Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD) during handling. The following guidelines will help
prevent ESD damage when servicing the instrument or any electronic
device.
•
•
•
Disassemble the instruments in a static-free work area only.
Use a conductive work area to dissipate static charge.
Use a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge
accumulation.
•
•
•
Minimize handling.
Keep the replacement parts in original static-free packaging.
Remove all plastics, styrofoams, vinyls, papers, and other
static-generating materials from the immediate work area.
•
Use only antistatic solder extractor.
