EADS North America Test and Services Racal Instruments™ 1260-700 Prototyping I/O Plug-in The Racal Instruments™ 1260-700 is a prototyping plug-in with 88 digital I/O lines for the Adapt-a-Switch™ platform. The 1260-700 installs easily into the Racal Instruments™1260-100 Adapt-a-Switch™ VXIbus carrier or the Racal Instruments™ 1256 GPIB switching mainframe. Please refer to the 1260-100 or 1256 data sheet for specifications and product features. Key Features • 88 TTL I/O lines usable as either digital inputs or outputs • Two-piece “open architecture” design allows the creation of user plug-ins • Prototyping kit allows breadboarding of custom designs • 200 kHz VXI data rate • Synchronous, asynchronous and mixed operating modes with 2-wire programmable handshaking • Adapt-a-Switch™ plug-in design for VXIbus or GPIB operation Product Information The 1260-700 uses a modular approach to achieve maximum flexibility for the 1260-100 VXIbus Carrier or 1256 Switching Mainframe user. The 1260-700 includes a connectorized interface section that provides connection to the Adapt-aSwitch™ platform and 88 channels of bi-directional digital I/O plus +5 VDC power protected by a self-healing fuse. When installed in a 1260-100 VXIbus carrier, the 1260-700 also has fused +12 V and +24 V available. Also included is a prototyping kit, which includes a prototyping card with 0.1 x 0.1 inch prototyping grid, a connector to the interface section, and blank panel hardware. The prototyping grid has a ground bus and two uncommitted buses which may be jumpered to an internal or external power supply. The 1260-700 uses an open-architecture design. The pinout of the 1260-700 interface section and layout of the “user-defined” section is provided so that custom plug-in boards may be designed. Each 8-bit digital I/O port is configurable as an input or an output and can be individually controlled in asynchronous mode or in synchronous mode. The 1260-700’s digital I/O has a two-wire handshake mode available for the control of synchronous I/O transactions. Each handshake line can be programmed as either active high or active low providing a flexible interface with user signals. The 1260-700 is programmable in several operating modes and data may be manipulated in either hex, decimal or binary. Memory is available on the 1260-100 VXI Carrier or 1256 Mainframe allowing buffered I/O operations. The Adapt-a-Switch™ series includes VXIplug&play support for frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWindows™/CVI and LabVIEW™. For example, a user-defined custom switch card, Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) card, or Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) card may be substituted for the prototyping area. The blank front panel may be punched by the user to create a custom connector interface. As an option, the 1260-700 may be ordered with front panel cutouts for either a 64 or a 160 pin right angle DIN connector. User Prototyping Area Layout ECO# 2010-EADSTS-12-13-4 -MU.
