Installing and Removing Components on the Mass Interconnect
Installing and removing ITA modules or receiver modules on the master interconnect requires a 3/32” ball-end hex bit that is at least 75 mm
(3.0 in) long.
NI recommends a Bondhus 0105 or a McMaster-Carr 6972A16. Because 3/32” sockets or nut drivers are not widely available, adapting this
tool to common hand or power tools may require a chuck adapter. NI recommends a Jacobs 30248 or McMaster-Carr 28055A71 chuck adapter.

Using SLSC Fault Insertion Units in Test Programs
Managing SLSC Module Routing
You can use NI Switch Executive to configure signal routes through the SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 modules. The SLSC FIU modules
appear as IVI devices when creating new NI Switch Executive virtual devices.
To manage routes through SLSC modules, refer to the following documents:
•
To learn more about route configuration with SLSC modules, refer to
I/O Organization
in the
SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 User Manual
.
•
To learn more about setting up channels, routes, route groups, and exclusions, refer to the
NI Switch Executive Getting Started Guide
.
•
To learn more about using NI Switch Executive from TestStand to set up route signals before each test step and configuring steps in the
Switching Panel, refer to
Switch Executive

Measuring Current on a Channel
The SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 modules provide current sensing on each DUT channel. The ECUTS includes additional instrumentation
necessary to perform current measurements.
To read the current from SLSC channels using the TestStand ECU Software Toolkit, complete the following steps.
1.
Open or create a sequence file in TestStand.
2.
Insert an
SLSC FIU – Read Current
step from
IO Configuration»Instrument Control »SLSC 12251/2
in the Insertion Palette pane.
3.
Configure the step in the Step Settings pane by selecting the Switch Executive Virtual Device associated with your SLSC module.
Note
Click the Switch Executive icon to open the selected Switch Executive Virtual Device in Switch Executive.
4.
Click the
+
button to add current measurement channels.
5.
Assign a numeric variable for each channel to which the data will be saved.
6.
Use the Limits tab to configure a comparison type for the step to pass/fail the step according to the acquired measurement.
Site Preparation
You must follow all safety and site requirements and instructions to properly set up, configure, and use the ECUTS.
Ensure the facility meets the following environmental, physical, and interface requirements before the ECUTS arrives.
