FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION A functional block diagram is provided in Figure 2.1. The Multiplexer Module 40-651 is powered by a +5V input via Compact PCI connector J1. The interface to the user test equipment is via a front panel mounted 50-pin D-type connector for all signals, or for versions with Isolated COM Access, via a 50-pin D-type connector for the multiplexer channels and a 9-pin D-type connector for the common signals.

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.

MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40-651 module is an array of up to 50 SPST relays factory configured in to one of four different multiplexer configurations. In the default state, all multiplexer channels are open circuit. Energising a particular channel creates a signal path between the common terminal(s) and the corresponding channel terminal(s).

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.
