    Unused slots in the PXI/PXIe/LXI chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

  • Page 13: Technical Description

    The module comprises a mother board and a daughter board populated with 1-pole electro-mechanical relays configured as an 84x4 (40-575A), a 64x6 (40-576), a 50x8 (40-577), a 36x12 (40-578) or a 28x16 (40-579) matrix. The relays are energised via control signals from relay drivers U15-22 & U26-33. Each relay driver is loaded with serial data from PCI bridge U1 to operate the required matrix crosspoint.The main PCI interface circuitry and the drivers and relays that make up one half of...

  • Page 14: Installation

    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/LXI chassis. The module is designed for indoor use only. Pre-operation 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 15: 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.

  • Page 16: Testing Operation

    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.

  • Page 18 Matrix Architecture The 40-575A is a single pole switching matrix with 84 connections on the X-axis and 4 connections on the Y-axis. Connections are made by operating the relays at the crosspoints between X and Y lines allowing single X-Y connections, or X-X connections using a Y line as a path.
  • Page 19 Section 4 - Programming 40-578-001 36x12 Matrix 40-579-001 28x16 Matrix NOTE: The matrix supports concurrent switch paths for X to X and Y to X connections, however connections between different Y axis lines (e.g. Y1 to Y2) are not permitted. The entire matrix is treated as a single programming sub-unit designated as Sub-Unit 1.
  • Page 20 Once the drivers are installed the manual “Sys40Prg.pdf” and driver help files which fully describes these functions can be found in the Pickering folder(s) or the Pickering entries on your Start Menu. The card must be opened before use and closed after using the following function calls: Direct Driver - Open with PIL_OpenCards or PIL_OpenSpecifiedCard and close with PIL_CloseCards or PIL_CloseSpecifiedCards respectively.

  • Page 21: Using Pickering Drivers In Labview

    Section 4 - Programming 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.

  • Page 28: Maintenance Information

    For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102D and 60-103D) 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.
