Pickering Interfaces’ 60-106-002 modular LXI/USB chassis occupies only a small, 1U rack-height form factor, making it suitable for portable and space-restricted rack-mount applications. It features remote control via USB or LXI Ethernet and this version of the chassis includes Scan List Sequencing & Triggering. Remote control over a network enables the switching function of a test system to be located as close as possible to the target equipment.

The scan list sequencing service provides the user with the ability to set a series of pre-determined sequences on an LXI instrument. These sequences can be triggered by software or one of the sixteen software configurable open collector triggers. As the operations are grouped together, it will minimize the number of control transactions required to achieve a composite change of target switch state, condensing multiple operations in a single sub unit into a single operation, thus reducing the overall system switch settling time. For example, if a user wants to operate X1-Y1, X4-Y1, X2-Y2, in the first sequence, only one operation, and so delay, will be used. Additionally, as the switch state sequences are stored within the LXI controller itself, the burden on the Host CPU and Ethernet traffic is greatly reduced, so the overall system latency is reduced. See Pickering Sequence Manager for more information.

The chassis supports from one to six of our 3U PXI modules; choose from over 1,000 module types including programmable resistors, matrices, multiplexers, general purpose relays, RF switches and fault insertion units.
