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, VXIbus
module.
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.
Key Features
•t East access, front-loading switch
modules
•t Analog bus expands matrices
or multiplexers
•t Ethernet, GPIB or RS-232 t
control
•t Accepts six Adapt-a-Switch™ plugins
•t EMI/RFI shields between plug-ins
•t Two-slot, C-size VXIbus carrier
Product Information
To simplify configuration, the Adapt-aSwitch™ plug-ins are inserted easily and
directly from the front panel of the 1260100, 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™.
