SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

!

GENERAL CLEANING

• 

  Isolate the electrical power from the chassis and ensure that no user I/O signals are being applied.

• 

  Wipe the product & chassis surfaces with a clean dry anti-static cloth only.

SOFTWARE UPDATE

For PXI/PXIe modules operating in a PXI/PXIe chassis, no module software updates are required. For the latest 

version of the driver please refer to our web site 

pickering

test

.com

 where links to our Software Download 

page will provide the latest version of the driver software for the various programming environments.
For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B 

and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was 

manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading. This 

is a simple process which is described in the manual for the Modular LXI Chassis.

SWITCHING SYSTEM TEST TOOLS

USING

  

eBIRST

We recommend the use of 

e

BIRST

 to provide a check of the correct operation of relays and to identify the 

location of any faulty relay. For more information on

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

This product and its corresponding chassis do not require any periodic maintenance.

RELAY LOOK-UP TABLES

The following pages provide a cross reference between the signal paths of the product and the physical relays 

on the PCB. The tables can be used in the fault finding process and should be used in conjunction with the 

corresponding PCB layout diagrams to identify the position of faulty relays. Users of 

e

BIRST

 switching system 

test tools do not need to use this information to locate faulty relays.
