1 0-569 Amp BRIC nd Generation PXI Switching Resource Distributor & Bus Matrix Inputs Module Designed to Support the Requirements of the ARINC 608A Specification Integrated PXI A Matrix Module With Built In High Performance Screened Analog Bus Switching up to 0VDC/50VAC, A, 60W Separate Bus Matrix Inputs and Resource Distributor Daughter Cards Load Just The Number Of Daughter Switch Cards You Need For Your Application, Expansion Cards Can Be Added Later Partially Populated Versions Available VISA/IVI Drivers Supplied for Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Supported by PXI or LXI Chassis 3 Year Warranty 8-Slot BRIC8 shown populated with Bus Matrix cards and Resource Distributor cards BRIC nd Generation PXI A Switch Matrix The PXI Matrix BRIC provides a range of high density bus matrix inputs and resource distributor bussed configurations capable of switching up to A and up to 0VDC/50VAC. The BRIC modules are available in or 8 slot PXI sizes and are constructed using high quality electro-mechanical relays. Typical applications include signal routing for avionics test systems that conform to the ARINC 608A specification. The flexibility of the BRIC module allows a custom combination of Bus Matrix Inputs and Resource Distributor cards to meet the user s requirements. High Reliability and Ease of Use The PXI BRIC is designed to minimise the cost and complexity of cable assemblies to the device under test and instrumentation. Analog busing is housed within the module using a high performance screened analog bus backplane. Pickering can construct custom cable assemblies for all of our PXI modules, please contact sales office for further assistance BRIC MODULE BRIC ANALOG BACKPLANE CARD #6 CARD #5 CARD # CARD #3 CARD # CARD #1 RESOURCE DISTRIBUTOR CARD # RESOURCE DISTRIBUTOR CARD #1 TEST SIGNAL CONNECTIONS Schematic diagram for a fully loaded BRIC8 with 6 Bus Matrix Inputs Cards and Resource Distributor Cards ISSUE 3.0 MAY 013

3 0-569 BRIC Key Advantages Complete PXI Switching Solution in one PXI Module. Simplified cabling, easy to connect to the DUT thus minimizing costs. Internal Shielded Analog Bus giving maximum signal integrity with easy expansion at minimal cost with maximum bandwidth and isolation. Targeted at high performance matrix switching with minimized cost. Build just the matrix configuration you need. Modular architecture allows users to buy just as much matrix capacity as they require, expansion cards can be added later. BRICs allow use of much lower cost 8 or 1 slot PXI chassis (such as or 0-91). Simpler and faster programming with Direct I/O, VISA and IVI Drivers + LabView Soft Front Panels. Fully compatible with NI Switch Executive. Custom versions built to order. PXI BRIC Software Drivers The PXI BRIC uses the standard software drivers used by all Pickering Interfaces PXI switch modules, these are supplied with Windows XP/Vista/7 drivers - freely available from our web site also available are code examples in LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic, Visual C++ and Borland C++. All modules also have comprehensive IVI, VISA and DLL (Direct I/O) support together with Soft Front Panels, source code for LabView VIs, Diagnostic utilities and HTML Help, all of which may also be downloaded direct from our web site. Pickering PXI modules are compatible with NI s Measurement & Automation Explorer. The Matrix module is based on the proven features of Pickering s large range of BRIC Integrated Matrix modules. NI Switch Executive Support National Instrument s Switch Executive (NISE) is a switch management software package designed to simplify the control of switching systems. Pickering Interfaces provides an IVI-C compliant switch driver for all BRIC s, allowing the product to be integrated into a test system using NISE. Available Versions of the The can be supplied in BRIC or BRIC8 format with a minimum configuration of a single Bus Matrix card and a single Resource Distributor card. The maximum configuration is a BRIC8 populated with 6 Bus Matrix cards and Resource Distributor cards as shown below. For a list of all the possible configurations, please refer to the product codes overleaf. pickering Connectors and Cabling Options for BRIC Modules RESOURCE RESOURCE DISTRIBUTOR DISTRIBUTOR Pickering Interfaces offer a complete range PXI Connectors and Prototyping Cable for the 50 Way D-Type connectors and 160 way DIN 161 connectors used on the 0-569, providing a means of connecting your U.U.T. to a Pickering Interfaces BRIC module. Please refer to the Pickering Connection Solutions Catalog for details. Pickering can also manufacture custom cable assemblies, contact the sales office for more information.
