Express Panels for
the SLIM MSA/TG/VNA

Page started 10-15-07.
Updated 5-16-08.  Update to reflect Revision A of PWB Panels
Updated 10-21-08.  Update to reflect Revision B of PWB Panels, due to change of PWB-PDM-revA.

    The Basic SLIM Modularized Spectrum Analyzer (SLIM MSA) requires 11 SLIM Modules. The addition of the Tracking Generator requires the addition of 3 more modules.  Converting the MSA/TG to a MSA/VNA requires the addition of 2 more modules. All module PWB's can be positioned on 4 panels which can be ordered from Express miniboard service.  Each of these 4 panels is called an Express Miniboard.  The 4 Panels are called: Control Panel, LO 1 Panel, LO 2 Panel, and LO 3 Panel.  If you order one panel (a miniboard), Express will send you 3 copies for $59.
Updated 10-21-08.  Note: The Express miniboard LO 3 Panel is now a Revision B.  The Full Panel is Revision B.  The miniboards: Control, LO 1, and LO 2 remain Revision A.
