VXI carrier card 1260-100

Modular VXIbus Switch Carrier The Adapt-a-Switch™ platform is a revolutionary, modular switch system that delivers unprecedented density and flexibility in a two-slot, C-size, VXIbusmodule. The Racal Instruments™ 1260-100 switch carrier accommodates up to six plug-in switch cards, providing optimum switching solutions while reducing the ATE size requirements. Configurations combining discrete relays, multiplexers, matrices, power relays, RF switches, and digital test units are currently available Product Information To simplify configuration, the Adapt-a- Switch™ plug-ins are inserted easily and directly from the front panel of the 1260- 100, without removing the carrier module from the VXIbus chassis. Field upgrades or modifications can be accomplished quickly and easily. In addition, sparing can be done at the individual plug-in level, minimizing the cost of system support. The 1260-100 provides an analog bus to interconnect two or more plug-ins. This enables large multiplexers and matrices to be dynamically configured via software control. EMI/RFI shields eliminate crosstalk and radiation between plug-ins, ensuring low-noise performance and signal integrity. The Racal Instruments™ Option 01T interface, housed in the 1260-100 can control twelve Adapt-a-Switch™ plug-in cards, using both register-based and message-based modes. Refer to the Option 01T data sheet for specifications and product features. The 1260-100 includes VXIplug&play support for frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWindows™/CVI and LabVIEW™
