VXI carrier card 1260-101

Modular VXIbus Switch Carrier The Adapt-a-Switch™ platform is a revolutionary, modular switch system that delivers high density and flexibility. The Racal Instruments™ 1260-101 Switch Carrier accommodates two plug-in switch cards in a single slot VXI module. 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- 101, 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, mini- mizing the cost of system support. The 1260-101 provides an analog bus to interconnect the two plug-ins. This enables large multiplexers and matrices to be dyna- mically configured via software control. The Racal Instruments™ Option 01T inter- face, housed in the 1260-101, controls the two Adapt-a-Switch™ plug-in cards, and up to ten additional 1260-series VXI switch modules using both register-based and message-based modes. Refer to the Option 01T data sheet for specifications and product features. The 1260-101 includes VXIplug&play sup- port for frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWindows™/CVI and LabVIEW™.
