1260-101, Modular VXIbus Switch Carrier - 1

Astronics Test Systems Inc. Racal Instruments™ 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. Key Features • Easy access, front-loading switch modules • Analog bus expands matrices or multiplexers • Modular package allows multiple switch types in one VXI slot • Accepts two Adapt-a-Switch™ plug-ins • Single-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 1260101, 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 1260-101 provides an analog bus to interconnect the two plug-ins. This enables large multiplexers and matrices to be dynamically configured via software control. The Racal Instruments™ Option 01T interface, housed in the 1260-101, controls the two Adapt-a-Switch™ plug-in cards, and 949.859.8999; 800.722.2528; atssales@astronics.com; www.astronicstestsystems.com Copyright © 2014 Astronics Test Systems Inc. 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 support for frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWin
