  • Page 12: Installation

    Modular products require installation in a suitable chassis. The card is designed for indoor use only. Pre-operation Checks (Unpacking) 1. Check the card for transport damage and report any damage immediately to Pickering Interfaces. Do not attempt to install the product if any damage is evident.

  • Page 13: Hardware Installation

    If you are not a LabVIEW user you should choose the “full” version, and once that has been installed run the LabVIEW Runtime Engine installer via the shortcut on the Programs>>Pickering menu. In the absence of LabVIEW the Runtime Engine is required to support the Pickering Test Panels application.

    Figure 3.2 - General Soft Front Panel Icon A selector panel will appear, listing all installed Pickering PCI, PXI/PXIe or LXI switch cards and resistor cards. Click on the card you wish to control, and a graphical control panel is presented allowing operation of the card. Panels can be opened simultaneously for all the installed cards.

    Card Architecture - 50-110A-021/121 The 50-110A-021 is an array of 32, and the 50-110A-121 is an array of 64 uncommitted changeover relays. In the default state, all signal paths are between the C terminal and the corresponding B terminal. Energizing a particular relay disconnects the B terminal and creates a signal path between the C and A terminals.
