SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

CAUTIONElectrostatic discharge can damage the components on the card. To avoid such damage in handling the card, touch the anti-static bag to a metal part of the chassis before removing the card from the bag.

The card should be installed in accordance with the following procedure:

1. Ensure that the system is turned OFF but still connected to mains so that it remains grounded.

2. Choose an appropriate free PCI slot in the host system.

3. Remove the blanking plate for the chosen slot and retain the fixing screw.

4. Carefully remove the card from its anti-static bag and insert the card’s edge connector into the free slot in the host system.

5. Ensure the card is fully inserted into the edge connector and the front panel is fully in contact with the back of card aperture in the host chassis.

6. Use the fixing screw to secure the front panel of the card to the host chassis’ mounting rail.

7. Replace the chassis cover(s).

7. Power-up the host system.

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION pickering

GENERAL PURPOSE REED RELAY MODULE 50-110/115-021/121

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

First install the appropriate Pickering PXI switch card drivers by running the installer program Setup.exe, either from the CD-ROM supplied, or by downloading the latest version from our website http://www.pickeringtest.com - the recommended method. There are different versions of the Setup program to suit different Windows versions and software environments. Setup is accompanied by a ReadMe file containing additional installation information. A single installation covers all cards in the System 40, System 45 and System 50 ranges.

When installation completes, the installed drivers’ ReadMe file is offered for display. It can also be displayed later using a shortcut on the Programs>>Pickering menu.

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.

TESTING OPERATION

After installation of the hardware start the Test Panels application from the Programs>>Pickering>>PXI Utilities menu. If you are a LabVIEW user, run “Test Panels (LabVIEW VI)”; if not, run “Test Panels (EXE)”. A selector panel will appear, listing all installed Pickering PXI switch 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.

As an alternative to the Test Panels, the simple Terminal Monitor program PILMon (again on the Programs>>Pickering>>PXI Utilities menu) allows access to all functions of Pickering switch cards through a command-line interface. In PILMon, enter “HE” for help on it’s commands.

Please note that both the Test Panels and Terminal Monitor gain exclusive access to the cards, and so only one of them can be operational at any time.

SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE

Page 4.1

pickering

GENERAL PURPOSE REED RELAY MODULE 50-110/115-021/121

SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS FOR PICKERING INTERFACES PCI CARDSSoftware drivers are supplied for Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 operating systems, with specific support for the following development environments:

Microsoft Visual Studio (VB, C++, C#) Borland C++ National Instruments LabWindows/CVI National Instruments LabVIEW and LabVIEW RT

Windows drivers are supplied in the form of Dynamic Link Libraries, which should also be usable in any other development environment that supports them.

Programming for PCI

A number of different Windows drivers are available to meet particular system requirements, and should none of these be suitable there is also the option of register-level programming. Drivers are generally ‘universal’, handling all models in the System 40, 45 and 50 ranges; however some models that are not compliant with the Ivi Swtch class cannot be used with the pi40iv IVI driver. The pipx40 and Pilpxi drivers are also applicable to certain models in the System 41 (PXI Instruments) range - see these drivers’ System 41 support list.

Please note that this documentation is available in its most up-to-date form as HTML help files, fully hyperlinked for easy access - both pipx40 and Pilpxi documents are included in the Pipx40vpp software installation.

IVI Driver for Windows - pi40ivThe pi40iv IVI (Interchangeable Virtual Instrument) driver supports all Pickering Interfaces PXI switch cards that are consistent with the Iviswtch class model - as are the great majority of cards in the System 40/45/50 ranges. It integrates well with LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW, and is fully compatible with Switch Executive. It is also usable in general-purpose programming environments such as Visual C++ and Visual Basic.

Prior installation of the VISA and IviEngine from National Instruments are required for the correct installation and operation of this driver.

VISA Driver for Windows - pipx40The pipx40 driver conforms to the VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) standard for programmable instrumentation. Instrument control environments such as LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI are based on VISA, and pipx40 support libraries are provided for them.

Prior installation of VISA from National Instruments is required for the operation of this driver.

Where VISA is available, pipx40 can also be used in general-purpose programming environments such as Visual C++ and Visual Basic. When IVI is not a system requirement this driver will often yield faster operation than the pi40iv driver.

Direct I/ODriver for Windows - PilpxiThe Pilpxi driver accesses cards directly, without using the VISA software layer, while offering similar overall functionality to pipx40. It is most commonly used in general-purpose programming environments such as Visual C++ and Visual Basic. Operating speed of the VISA and Direct I/O drivers is generally comparable.

Register-level ProgrammingWhere the supplied drivers are not suitable, register-level programming can be employed - for example:

If the functionality of the supplied drivers does not meet the application requirements If security considerations demand full source-code for the application In development environments that have alternate mechanisms for accessing PCI bus For operating systems other than Windows

General Pickering Card ArchitectureWith most drivers, before programming a Pickering card it is important to understand the basic architecture of Pickering cards.

The switches on a Pickering card are organized into logical sub-units, each sub-unit containing a set of objects of similar type and use. These objects may be switches, digital outputs, digital inputs, resistors, power supplies etc, depending on the nature of the specific card.

For example a simple matrix card will usually contain a single sub-unit containing the switches arranged in a 2-dimensional array. However a similar card with additional isolating relays connected to the matrix will contain additional sub-units containing those isolation relays.

Low level drivers include functions to allow the programmer to query the card to ascertain the number of sub-units, and the size and type of each sub-unit.

For full details of the driver functions available the programmer should refer to the documentation provided.

MODULE ARCHITECTURE

One sub-unit is used to control the module’s relays as shown below. Enabling a particular bit closes the C to A signal path(s).

The Modules utilise up to 64 SPST or SPDT relays depending on the option. In the default state the relays are either open circuit (SPST) or to the ‘B’ terminal (SPDT). Energising a particular relay creates a signal path between the ‘C’ and ‘A’ terminals. The relay module’s switching architectures are shown in their default state in the diagrams below:

GENERAL PURPOSE REED RELAY MODULE 50-110/115-021/121

Using pi40ivThe IVI driver has no special labelling for this card and treats the relays as an array of switches, labelling the channels using com / nc / no labelling tags.pi40iv_Connect(vi, “com1”, “no1”); // Connects chA1 to com 1 pi40iv_Disconnect(vi, “com1”, “n01”); // Disconnects chA1 from com 1 Reconnects chB1 to com 1 pi40iv_Connect(vi, “com1”, “no6”); // Connects chA6 to com 6

SPST and DPST versions use the simple com/ch labeling tags. The IVI Switch driver specification contains no bulk setting capabilities.

Using PIPX40setChannelStateViUInt32 sub_unit = 1; pipx40_setChannelState(vi, sub_unit, 1, VI_ON); // Connects chA1 to com1pipx40_setChannelState(vi, sub_unit, 1, VI_OFF); // Disconnects chA1 from com1 Reconnects chB1 to com1 pipx40_setChannelState(vi, sub_unit, 6, VI_ON); // Connects chA6 to com6

setChannelPattern// Sub-unit is 64 bits wide, so 2 ViUInt32 values are needed to hold the entire pattern

ViUInt32 data[2]; data[0] = 1; // Sets lowest bit to 1, chA1 to com1 pipx40_setChannelPattern( vi, sub_unit, data);

data[0] = 0x20; // Sets 6th bit, chA6 to com6 // All other relays are set to off pipx40_setChannelPattern( vi, sub_unit, data);

PROGRAMMING THE MODULE

Here are some simple examples of using the drivers with the 50-110-121 (64 Channel SPDT) module.

Using PILPXITo operate a relay the user could use the simple OpBit command or the WriteSub commands

OpBitDWORD sub_unit = 1; PIL_OpBit( card_num, sub_unit, 1, 1); // Connects channel A1 to com 1PIL_OpBit( card_num, sub_unit, 1, 0); // Disconnects channel A1 from com 1 Reconnects channel B1 to com 1 PIL_OpBit( card_num, sub_unit, 6, 1); // Connects channel A6 to com 6

WriteSub// Sub-unit is 64 bits wide, so 2 DWORDs are needed to hold the pattern DWORD data[2]; data[0] = 1; // Sets lowest bit to 1, channel A1 to com 1

PIL_WriteSub( card_num, sub_unit, data);

data[0] = 0x20; // Sets 6th bit, channel A6 to com 6 // All other relays are set to off PIL_WriteSub( card_num, sub_unit, data);

SECTION 6 - TROUBLESHOOTING

INSTALLATION PROBLEMS

The Plug & Play functionality of Pickering switch cards generally ensures trouble-free installation.

If you do experience any installation problems you should first ensure that all cards are properly seated in their slots. Improperly mated cards may go undetected by the operating system, or may be detected as a card of an unknown type. They can also cause the computer to freeze at various stages in the boot sequence.

If your system employs MXI-3 you should check the integrity of all MXI-3 links. When the system is powered up, and during Windows start-up, you should expect to see periodic activity on the MXI-3 RX/TX (yellow) indicators, clearing to leave only the PWR/LNK (green) LEDs illuminated. The RX/TX indicators should show activity when you attempt to access a card.

DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY

The Pickering Diagnostic Utility (accessible through the Programs>>Pickering>>PXI Utilities menu) generates a diagnostic report of the system’s 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: [email protected], if possible including a copy of the diagnostic report.

In the “VISA information” section, if VISA is not installed it’s absence will be reported. This does not affect operation using the Direct I/O driver, and is not a problem unless you wish to use VISA. VISA is a component of National Instruments LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW, or is available as a standalone environment.

If VISA is present and is of a sufficiently recent version, the section “Pipx40 information” should present a listing similar to “Pilpxi information”.

Please note that the Diagnostic Utility cannot access cards if they are currently opened by some other application, such as the Test Panels or Terminal Monitor.

SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

SOFTWARE UPDATE

For PCI modules operating in a PCI system, no module software updates are required. For the latest version of the driver please refer to our web site www.pickeringtest.com where links to our Software Download page will provide the latest version of the driver software for the various programming environments encountered.

RELAY LOOK-UP TABLES

See Section 4 for a cross reference between the switching channels of the Reed Relay Module and the physical relays on the PCB.

The tables can be used in the fault finding process and should be used in conjunction with the PCB layout diagram below to identify the position of faulty relays.
