Page 13: 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 14: 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 16: Soft Front Panel
With most drivers, before programming a Pickering card it is important to understand the basic architecture of Pickering cards. The switches on a Pickering card are organized into logical sub-units, each sub-unit containing a set of objects of similar type and use. These objects may be switches, digital outputs, digital inputs, resistors, power supplies etc, depending on the nature of the specific card. -

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... - Page 20 SECTION 6 - TROUBLE SHOOTING pickering THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK Page 6.2 PROGRAMMABLE HIGH VOLTAGE ATTENUATOR 41-660/661...

Page 21: Maintenance Information
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 22 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering RL40 RL33 RL65 RL72 RL34 RL41 RL66 RL73 RL10 RL35 RL42 RL67 RL74 RL11 RL36 RL43 RL68 RL75 RL44 RL12 RL37 RL69 RL76 RL38 RL45 RL13 RL70 RL77 RL39 RL46 RL78 RL14 RL71 RL49...
