Astronics Test Systems Inc. Racal Instruments™ The Racal Instruments™ 1260-118/118A is an 80/24 channel SPST (Form A) plug-in relay card for the Adapt-a-Switch™ platform. It quickly and easily plugs into the front of Racal Instruments™ 1260-100 and 1260-101 Adapt-a-Switch™ carriers or Racal Instruments™ 1256 GPIB/Ethernet and 1256L (LXI Core 2011 Compliant) switching mainframes. Key Features • 80 or 24 channels of SPST switching • 100 MHz bandwidth (-3 dB) • 1260-118A version accommodates a low-cost ribbon cable interface • Switches up to 2 A • Can be used in VXI, GPIB/RS-232, and LXI switching systems • Easily configured to meet user-defined network requirements • Standard Adapt-a-Switch™ plug-in design for ease of replacement Product Information Each channel of the 1260-118/118A can switch up to 2 A. Its bandwidth and current/ voltage switching capability make it the ideal general-purpose switch card. In addition, the SPST architecture allows the user to interconnect the relays externally to create custom multiplexers and matrices. Since all relays on the 1260-118/118A are electromechanical, all inputs/outputs are interchangeable to meet the test requirements. Interface connectors are not provided with the 1260-118 and must be ordered separately. However, a six-foot unterminated cable assembly is available as a standard option. For the 1260-118A, 2 A DIN crimp-style connectors or low-cost 1 A IDC ribbon cable connectors are also available as options. The Racal Instruments™ Option-01T interface (for VXI) controls the 1260-118/118A using either register-based or message-based commands. The Racal Instruments™ 1256 (for GPIB/Ethernet) and 1256L (for LXI) support message-based operations. Refer to the Option-01T/1256 literature for more information about product specifications and features such as include, exclude, scan lists, user-defined path names, and reset states. The Racal Instruments™ Adapt-a-Switch™ series includes VXIplug&play support for frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWindows™/CVI and LabVIEW™. 949.859.8999; 800.722.2528; atssales@astronics.com; www.astronicstestsystems.com Copyright © 2014 Astronics Te
