the r&s®ts-ptr is an accessory module for transmitting dut signals through the system equipment of the r&s®tsvp family. the module's design as a passive switching board protects the signal-routing lines that are connected via the front-panel plug-in connector of an r&s®ts-ptrf module. when it comes to conducting and connecting a large number of signal paths through the instrument and then to the dut, this standardized signal transmission module is fundamentally more cost-efficient than a project-specific cabling solution.
the module is mechanically compatible with the r&s®ts-pio3b and is used as a switching and distribution module in place of an r&s®ts-pio3b module. in order to route dut signals in slots 3 to 14, which are used for t & m purposes, by means of an r&s®compacttsvp or an r&s®powertsvp, an additional rear i/o module of the r&s®ts-prio4 is used.
