1000Base-T1 Dual MUX, 40/42-204 Programming Pickering provide kernel, IVI and VISA (NI & Keysight) drivers which are compatible with all Microsoft supported versions of Windows and popular older versions. For a list of all supporting operating systems, please see: pickeringtest.com/os The VISA driver is also compatible with Real-Time Operating Systems such as LabVIEW RT.
Drivers Daughter Board Relays RL1-6 Figure 2.1 - 1000Base-T1 Dual MUX 40/42-204: Functional Block Diagram Multiplexer Ground Connection Each multiplexer bank has a ground connection via the outer of its front panel coaxial connectors. This is isolated from the front panel and, in the case of dual versions, from the adjacent bank. The multiplexer ground and front panel ground can be connected together by fitting links on the module’s daughter boards.
Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/PXIe/LXI chassis. The module is 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.
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.

MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40/42-204-001 is a single, and the 40/42-204-002 is a dual multiplexer with differential signal paths suitable for switching 1000Base-T1 signals. In the default state, the signal path is between the M and U terminals. The input and output signal connections can be routed to loop terminals and fault conditions can be inserted onto the signal paths via two fault buses.
SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering PROGRAMMING THE MODULE Here are examples of using the drivers with the 40/42-204 multiplexer module. Using PILPXI To operate a relay the user could use the simple OpBit command or the WriteSub commands OpBit DWORD sub_unit = 1;...
PCI configuration, highlighting any potential configuration problems. Specific details of all installed Pickering switch cards are included. 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...
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.

Ground Connection Link Ground Connection Link Figure 7.2 - 1000Base-T1 MUX With Fault Insertion 40/42-204 - Daughter Board Relay Positions & Ground Connection Links Note: The ground connection links allow the multiplexer's ground to be connected to the module's front panel ground using 0Ω SMT resistors. These are not fitted as standard therefore isolating the multiplexer ground from the front panel and, in the case of dual versions, from the adjacent multiplexer bank.
