    The 40-262 responds directly to a request for a particular value of resistance and is therefore very easy to use in a system. Applications programs are easily generated to convert, for example, temperature requests to resistance values for different types of RTD that are to be emulated.
  • Page 17 The calibration port is designed so that it can be daisy chained with other resistor modules (for example multiple modules of 40-262). A cable assembly can be purchased as an accessory for this purpose or the user can make their own as shown in Figure 2.3.

    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 43: Verification Test Results

    In the unlikely event that adjustment of the 40-262 is required we recommend returning it to Pickering Interfaces. Adjustment of the 40-262 requires the use of a high performance DMM and an automated program in order to maintain its accuracy in the event of an adjustment being required to improve performance.
