  • Page 19: 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 20: 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.

    40-569 Sub-units and Programming Pickering PXI cards contain one or more independently addressable functional blocks, or sub-units. Sub-unit numbers begin at 1, and separate sequences are used for input and output functions. This number is used in function calls to access the appropriate block. Generally, sub-unit numbers correspond directly to the bank numbers specified in hardware documentation.
