These output pulse patterns then drive the inputs of the high voltage pulser. The pulser outputs drive both the inputs of the T/R switch, as well as SMA connectors for measuring the high voltage pulsers performance. The outputs of the T/R switches also drive SMA connector output ports for measuring their performance, such as cross-talk. The board can also be configured for individual device evaluation of the LM96530 T/R Switch and LM96551 Pulser. The LM96530 T/R Switch, LM96551 Pulser and LM96570 Digital Beamformer are controlled by a PC driven software GUI using an Opal Kelly FPGA module. 8 RF connector output ports for: measuring the outputs of the LM96551 HV Pulser directly driving an ultrasound transducer probe driving the inputs of the LM96530 T/R Switch 8 RF connector output ports for: measuring the outputs of the LM96530 T/R Switch directly driving an ultrasound Rx analog front end Graphical user interface (GUI) software provided to control the LM96570 Digital Beamformer and LM96530 T/R Switch.
