Chapter 1 - Overview

Interfacing
The plug-in instruments are recessed behind the front panel,
allowing room for wiring and connecting to an interface panel that
can be placed inside the door. The GTXI’s front panel is hinged for
easy access to the connectors on the boards. This panel can accept
patch panels and ZIF connectors from sources such as Virginia
Panel Corporation, MacPanel, ITT Cannon, and others. The bottom
section of the GTXI (underneath the boards) is a cable tray for
routing cables from rear to front and for connecting the interface to
external instruments.
The interface design can be an independent design or one of
Geotest’s options (for example, the GTXI-750 Canon ITT based
interface or the GTXI-760 Virginia Panel based interface). See
Appendix D “GTXI-750 Cannon ITT Interface”
or
Appendix E
“GTXI-760 Virginia Panel Interface”
for further details on options.
External Instrumentation
The GTXI System can be expanded to control external instruments.
Two RS-232C serial ports are available (one used for a mouse). In
addition, an optional IEEE-488 (GPIB) or VXI-MXI interface board
can be added to control other non-PC instruments.
Cooling
The GTXI uses a special mechanical design to provide proper
ventilation for all boards. Two fans are used for cooling the power
supplies while two other fans are used for cooling the
instrumentation. The custom mechanical design of the GTXI
provides for additional fans, which may be directed toward specific
boards requiring special cooling. The GT7700 and GT7710 both
offer optional top-mounted fans in 13 additional positions for
exceptional cooling capability.
