The board is plugged onto an MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad, which is connected over USB to a laptop. The laptop is used to program the microcontroller on the LaunchPad. The microcontroller switches the control lines of the optical switches on the board. Furthermore, the MCU reads the output states of the different channels.
The input signal is coming from a mechanical switch. A 100-kΩ pullup resistor is placed in parallel.
The switch is connected to a 24-V supply of the virtual bench. The virtual bench is also connected to the laptop over USB to control the two-channel scope. Figure 3-2 shows a block diagram of the test setup.
