The 60-103D is compliant with the LXI Standard 1.4 and supports
Pickering Interfaces 3U PXI switching and simulation modules
as though they are an LXI compliant device, complete with a
driverless soft front panel. The 60-103D supports up to 18 off 3U
modules and is equivalent to a 19 slot PXI chassis.
The chassis allows all switching and simulation 3U PXI modules
from Pickering and most† instrumentation products (such as
digital I/O, attenuators, power supplies) to be installed and
controlled. It is supplied with a built-in generic IVI driver to
control the modules in accordance with the LXI specification, but
can also be controlled through a kernel driver.
Modules available for installation cover a large variety of
functions including switches, matrices and multiplexers capable
of switching µA up to 40A. RF, microwave and optical switches
are supported as well as some instrument functions such as
variable resistor modules. For more information on compatible
PXI modules, please refer to the 60-103D User Manual.
The Ethernet interface enables the chassis to be controlled
through a LAN connection with a front panel display showing the
IP address. The chassis allows the remote operation of switching
modules over long distances including world wide networks. The
separation of the chassis from the controller's PCI bus simplifies
power-on sequencing of systems and provides independence
from the migration of the Windows and VISA environment.

The compact 4U height of the 60-103D allows efficient use of rack
space. Three fans ensure maximum module cooling and an efficient
direct convection design allows operation over an extended
temperature range.
The 60-103D can be configured over its LXI compliant interface
using any standard web browser. The interface can be used to load
soft front panels for the installed modules, so they can be manually
accessed without the need for drivers on the controller.
† For compatibility of Pickering's PXI modules other than switching
or simulation functions, please check the module's data sheet.
Note: This product has been introduced as a "form & fit" update
to the 60-103B, the electrical performance and software are the
same. The 60-103D has the added features of a USB interface and
Sequence Service & Triggering.
