Page 20: 41-720 Module Architecture
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. -

Page 29: 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 30 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK Page 7.2 PXI ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY MODULE 41-720...
