Page 17: Installation
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. -
Page 18: Hardware Installation
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. -

Page 22: Programming The Solid State Matrix
Programming The Solid State Matrix The 40-555 is a single pole switching matrix with 8 connections on the X-axis and 2 connections on the Y-axis. 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. -

Once the drivers are installed the manual “Sys40Prg.pdf” and driver help files which fully describes these functions can be found in the Pickering folder(s) or the Pickering entries on your Start Menu. The card must be opened before use and closed after using the following function calls: Direct I/O Driver - Open with PIL_OpenCards or PIL_OpenSpecifiedCard and close with PIL_CloseCards or PIL_CloseSpecifiedCards respectively. - Page 24 SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK 30A SOLID STATE MATRIX 40-555 Page 4.4...

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 30 U7 & U8 U3 & U4 U1 & U2 U11 & U12 U5 & U6 U15 & U16 U13 & U14 Outer U9 & U10 U7 & U8 U3 & U4 U1 & U2 30A SOLID STATE MATRIX 40-555 Page 7.2...
