California Instruments MXT10

The California Instruments MXT10 is a programmable interface module that controls and coordinates with California Instruments T Series AC power amplifiers to enable precise programming and measurement of AC power output parameters. When paired with a 959XP oscillator/power controller, the MXT10 delivers command over frequency, amplitude, phase angle, and waveform characteristics across extended frequency ranges. The module supplies DC power to the 959XP, houses current transformers for real-time measurement, includes current limit circuitry, and provides all necessary connections for power source interfacing. Full IEEE-488 remote control capability enables Talk and Listen functions for system integration.

## Technical Specifications
