Supporting Products & Software 40-200 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 more information go to pickeringtest.com/os The VISA driver support is provided for LabVIEW Real Time Operating Systems (Pharlap and Linux-RT). For other RTOS support contact Pickering.
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.
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.

SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering The Pickering 40-200 module is designed with 8 sub-units. There are two modes of operation embedded within the module. Mode A partitions the switches into different sub-units with respect to their function and Mode B allows user to control all switches within one sub-unit.

USING PICKERING DRIVERS IN LabVIEW Most Pickering drivers include a LabVIEW wrapper to permit full operation of the Pickering product from the LabVIEW environment. These wrappers are normally installed to the current LabVIEW folder system during installation of the Pickering driver.

Note: To maintain the integrity of the differential signals, the use of a twisted pair interconnecting cable, is highly recommended. The A078DMR-078DFR-9A200 cable assembly contains twisted pairs and is designed to be used with the 40-200 - See Appendix A for details.

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.
78-PIN CABLE ACCESSORY WIRING The diagram below shows the wiring for the optional cable accessory recommended for use with the 40-200 module. It is a 78-pin D-type male to female cable assembly with twisted pairs so integrity of the differential signals is maximised.
