PRODUCT SAFETY SAFETY SYMBOLS The following safety symbols may be used on the product and throughout the product documentation. MEANING / DESCRIPTION SYMBOL PROTECTIVE EARTH (GROUND) To identify any terminal which is intended for connection to an external conductor for protection against electric shock in case of a fault, or the terminal of a protective earth (ground) electrode.
Unused slots in the PXI/LXI chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.
Spare Reed Relays are built onto the circuit board to facilitate Y103 easy maintenance with minimum downtime. Y104 All reed relays are manufactured by our sister company Pickering Electronics, www.pickeringrelay.com.

SECTION 2 - TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION pickering SECTION 2 - TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION A functional block diagram is provided in Figure 2.1. The Matrix Module is powered by a +5V input via Compact PCI connector J1. The interface to the user test equipment is via the front panel mounted 68-pin micro-D connector, J2.
Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/LXI chassis. The module is designed for indoor use only. PREOPERATION CHECKS (UNPACKING) 1. Check the module for transport damage and report any damage immediately to Pickering Interfaces. Do not attempt to install the product if any damage is evident.
For a system comprising more than one chassis, turn ON the last chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc, and finally turn ON the external controller or chassis containing the system controller. 9. For Pickering Interfaces modular LXI installation there is no requirement to use any particular power up sequence.
Figure 3.2 - General Soft Front Panel Icon A selector panel will appear, listing all installed Pickering PCI, PXI or LXI switch cards and resistor cards. Click on the card you wish to control, and a graphical control panel is presented allowing operation of the card.
IVI Driver for Windows - pi40iv The pi40iv IVI (Interchangeable Virtual Instrument) driver supports all Pickering Interfaces PXI switch cards that are consistent with the Iviswtch class model - as are the great majority of cards in the System 40/45/50 ranges. It integrates well with LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW, and is fully compatible with Switch Executive.

Pickering LXI products include an SSH interface which allows remote command line access to control cards, or, using a suitable package, programmatic control. The user is advised to visit the Pickering web site for further details of all the above drivers, where documentation, example programs, and further help with driver choice are available.
SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-510 The 40-510-021 is an array of 48 single pole relays, and the 40-510-022 an array of 48 double pole relays. In the default state all relays are open circuit. Energising a particular relay creates a signal path between its C and A terminals.
SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-511 The 40-511-021 is an array of 96 single pole relays, and the 40-511-022 an array of 96 double pole relays. In the default state all relays are open circuit. Energising a particular relay creates a signal path between its C and A terminals.
SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-512 The 40-512-021 is an array of 96 single pole relays, and the 40-512-022 an array of 96 double pole relays. In the default state all relays are open circuit. Energising a particular relay creates a signal path between its C and A terminals.
SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-513 The 40-513-021 is an array of 96 single pole relays, and the 40-513-022 an array of 96 double pole relays.

SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering PROGRAMMING THE MODULE Here are examples of using the drivers with the 40-510 series of modules. These show sub-unit 1 being selected, which corresponds to the whole matrix of a single matrix module, or bank 1 of a dual matrix module. If bank 2 of a dual matrix were to be selected, sub-unit 2 would be specified.

SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering Using pi40iv The IVI driver has no special labelling for this card and treats the array of switches as a simple array, labelling the channels using the normal X,Y labelling tags. Note: the following example is for bank 1 of a dual matrix. Bank 1 is identified as A, bank 2 would be identified as B, and a single matrix would have no letter identifier.
PCI configuration, highlighting any potential configuration problems. Specific details of all installed Pickering switch cards are included. All the installed Pickering switch cards should be listed in the “Pilpxi information” section - if one or more cards is missing it may be possible to determine the reason by referring to the PCI configuration dump contained in the report, but interpretation of this information is far from straightforward, and the best course is to contact Pickering support: support@pickeringtest.com, if possible...
For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading.
