  • Page 17: Installation

    INSTALLING THE LOW THERMAL EMF MATRIX The 60-510 may be mounted on a desk top or fitted into a standard 19 inch rack (rack versions are supplied with mounting flanges fitted to either side of the front panel). When fitting into a rack it is important to provide adequate support using side brackets or runners, the mounting holes in the front panel flanges are designed only for securing the unit in the rack and must NOT be used to support the weight of the whole unit.

  • Page 22: Programming The 60-510

    PROGRAMMING THE 60-510 The 60-510 is a matrix card which in its basic form has 56 connections on its X axis and 33 on its Y axis. Smaller version are also available. Figure 4-1. 60-510 Low Thermal EMF Matrix Architecture Connections are made by operating the relays at the crosspoints between X and Y lines allowing single X-Y connections, or X-X connections using a Y line as a path, or Y-Y connections using an X line as a path.
  • Page 23 The Direct I/O driver is in reality composed of a suite of separate libraries which interact to provide full control of a Pickering LXI unit. In the case of a switch card the communications library picmlx, and the switching library piplx, are needed.
  • Page 24 The following code snippet demonstrates the minimum steps required to operate a switch on a Pickering LXI unit. Firstly a device session is opened on the card located at bus 0, device 20 inside the LXI unit located at 192.168.1.100.
