General Information
In this section of the catalog, each Programmable Attenuator is outlined utilizing individual data sheets con-
taining product features, specifications, and outline drawings. These data sheets are preceded by a quick
reference guide to help you select the Programmable Attenuator(s) that fits your needs. The page number for each
Programmable Attenuator data sheet is given in the quick reference guide.
This section includes all available accessories for the Aeroflex / Weinschel programmable attenuators such as our
Model 8210A Attenuator / Switch Controller, product specific driver boards, and our programmable attenuators with
our built-in microprocessor-based drivers. Also Included in this section are Aeroflex / Weinschel's wide variety of
programmable attenuator units which includes the 8310, 8311 and 8312 series. Other subsystem solutions can be
located in the Subsystem and Accessories section (pg 135).

Aeroflex / Weinschel's 8310 &
8311 Series Programmable
Attenuator Units represent
Aeroflex / Weinschel's newest
concept in programmable
attenuation for bench test and
subsystem applications.
Standard 8310 Series designs house and control various
Aeroflex / Weinschel Programmable Attenuator Models
(3200T, 150T, and 4200 Series via front panel controls or
standard communications interfaces including GPIB (IEEE-
488) and RS-232/RS-422/RS485. The standard units
combine the features of the Aeroflex / Weinschel 8210A
Device Controller with a front panel user interface to form a
flexible, easy to use solution.
Most 8310 Series are single channel configurations where
RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted
Ports A & B but can be configured for up to four channels of
attenuation, RF switching, or other functions and other fea-
tures such as:
Programmable/Switch Controllers:
(pg 132-134)
The Model 8210A Attenuator / Switch Controller provides a
flexible, low cost solution for the control and operation of
electromechanical switches and programmable step attenu-
ators using standard communication interfaces. The 8210A
represents a new concept in device control applications for
bench test and subsystem designs.
o
Designed to interface with Aeroflex / Weinschel’s line
of programmable attenuators (3200T & 150T) and
other electromechanical devices.
o
Simplifies your bench test setups
and subsystem design.
o
Available in two standard
communication interfaces:
- Model 8210A-1:GPIB/IEEE-488 (HS-488 ready)
- Model 8210A-2:RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
Each model contains similar capabilities and provides
switch-selectable parameters to tailor the interface’s
operation.
o
Multi-Channel attenuation paths (up to 4 input/
outputs).
o
Relative vs. Nominal attenuation step function.
o
Wide choice of Frequency & Attenuation Ranges.
