  • Page 17: Installation

    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/PXIe/LXI chassis. The module is 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.
  • Page 18: Hardware Installation

    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.

  • Page 22: Module Architecture

    SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40/42-588 is a high density 2-pole switching matrix constructed from 16x8 matrix daughter cards linked with an analog bus. It can be fitted with 1 or 2 matrix daughter cards and connections are made by operating crosspoint relays between X and Y lines allowing single X-Y connections, or X-X connections using a Y line as a path.
  • Page 23: Programming The Matrix

    SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering PROGRAMMING THE MATRIX The entire matrix is treated as a single programming sub-unit designated as Sub-Unit 1. Operating an X/Y crosspoint creates a signal path through the matrix. At the same time the corresponding isolation switch is automatically operated routing the Y signal to the analog bus.
  • Page 24 Once the drivers are installed the manual “Sys40Prg.pdf” and driver help files which fully describes these functions can be found in the Pickering folder(s) or the Pickering entries on your Start Menu. The card must be opened before use and closed after using the following function calls: Direct I/O Driver - Open with PIL_OpenCards or PIL_OpenSpecifiedCard and close with PIL_CloseCards or PIL_CloseSpecifiedCards respectively.

  • Page 29: Maintenance Information

    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.
  • Page 30 Replacement of relays should only be carried out by qualified personnel using the correct equipment. If qualified personnel are not available, or the location of a defective relay cannot be positively determined it is recommended that the module is returned to Pickering Interfaces or a replacement daughter card is ordered.
