Page 13: Technical Description
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The High Voltage Amplifier Module 41-650 is a high voltage multi-channel amplifier that can be used to amplify the output level of lower voltage PXI modules, such as the 41-620, to higher voltages. Each module supports up to 5 amplifier channels. -
Page 14: Cascading Monitor Ports
DMM that is likely to be part of most test systems. Some applications may require more than one 41-650 to be supported, or to allow other modules with similar monitor ports to be connected. - Page 15 The monitor port can be set to a cascade path where the input (from the DMM) is looped directly to the output (cascade) with no connection to internal parts of the 41-650, allowing modules to be connected in series.

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 19: Soft Front Panel Installation
A soft front panel is provided to allow the user to control an amplifier card. Clicking on the ‘Find Cards’ button will search attached PXI bus systems for any 41-650 series cards fitted. Any cards found will be listed in the text window and entered in the pull-down list control immediately below the ‘Find Cards’... - Page 20 SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION pickering THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK Page 3.4 HIGH VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER MODULE 41-650...

2.2.0, implementation 2.6.0). The pi650 driver is based on the Pickering Interfaces pipx40 driver but with the addition of specific function to control additional features of the 41-650. The programmer is advised to refer to the seperate pi650 driver manual for full details of the driver functions available. - Page 23 Gain To control the gain use the driver function : pi650_setChannelState(vi, amplifier, gain, VI_ON); For example, to set amplifier 3 to a gain of x1 :- pi650_setChannelState(vi, 3, 1, VI_ON); HIGH VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER MODULE 41-650 Page 4.3...

Page 31: 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 32: Instrument Checks
Load the output in 600Ω. The output level will be reduced slightly, but check the signal is still not distorted. ADJUSTMENTS The 41-650 module contains no user adjustable components. All performance numbers are achieved by use of precision components and parts that are designed to inherently meet the published specification. In the event a module fails to meet the specification a module repair must be undertaken. -
