5W Programmable Resistor – 40-252 Programming Pickering provide kernel, IVI and VISA (NI & Keysight) drivers which are compatible with all Microsoft supported versions of Windows and popular older versions. For a list of all supporting operating systems, please see: pickeringtest.com/os...
The 40-252 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.
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.

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.
SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering VERIFICATION & ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE This section provides a procedure for verifying that the 40-252 is performing to specification and guidance on adjustment. In normal use the 40-252 does not require regular adjustment. Where procedures require regular verification checks of instrumentation in a system Pickering Interfaces recommend a 1 year interval between tests.
Page 35
Calibration/verification of the 40-252 requires the use of a precision DMM capable of 4 terminal resistance measurements. Measurement of the 40-252 can be simplified by the use of the cable assembly shown in Fig 7.1. connected to the DMM. 40-252 6½...
Page 40
Adjustment Procedure The 40-252 contains no user adjustable parts, it uses a calibration table that is used to allow the module to respond to requests for specific values of resistance. Two tables are supported, a factory table and a user table. For normal use we recommend that only the factory table is used.
