- Page 28 Direct I/O Driver , piplx The Direct I/O driver is composed of a suite of separate libraries which interact to provide full control of a Pickering unit. In the case of a switch card the communications library picmlx, and the switching library piplx, are needed.
- Page 29 Switch closures on the matrix are made using the pi40iv_Connect function and released using the pi40iv_ Disconnect function. The following code snippet demonstrates the minimum steps required to operate a switch on a Pickering unit. Firstly a device session is opened on the unit located at 192.168.1.100. Then a switch closure of the matrix point at (x,y) location (12,3) is made then released.

Page 37: Maintenance Information
USING BIRST ™ (BUILT-IN RELAY SELF TEST) The Pickering Interfaces BIRST (Built-In Relay Self Test) Tool provides a simple means of testing selected Pickering Interfaces switching products, including this model. The tool can be used to find relay faults or to provide confirmation that a product is operating correctly, either as part of the regular system calibration or because a system fault is suspected and the switch system needs to be eliminated from the fault finding procedure. - Page 38 RL43 RL93 RL143 RL193 RL44 RL94 RL144 RL194 RL45 RL95 RL145 RL195 RL46 RL96 RL146 RL196 RL47 RL97 RL147 RL197 RL48 RL98 RL148 RL198 RL49 RL99 RL149 RL199 RL50 RL100 RL150 RL200 Page 8.2 LXI MODULAR HIGH VOLTAGE MATRIX 65-218...
