PCI From Pickering InterfacesA test system may not require a large number of switching or instrumentation modules or the need for a PXI or LXI chassis. In these cases a PCI switch card may provide a low cost solution that is perfectly adequate. In some cases full length PCI cards can be used that offer more capacity than their PXI equivalents, the complexity limitation usually being the connector space on the card’s panel.Our PCI cards are built using the same basic technology as our acclaimed PXI module range, utilizing the same software drivers, soft front panels and control electronics. They are 100% software compatible allowing users to migrate from PXI to PCI or from PCI to PXI as required by the application. Our range of PCI cards includes:
● General Purpose Relay ● Matrices including High Density & RF ● Multiplexers including High Voltage
● Programmable Resistors ● Relay Drivers and Digital I/O ● Function Generators
A common driver and software package ensures programs can be exchanged with minimal effort between the PCI and PXI platforms.
About Pickering InterfacesPickering Interfaces designs and manufactures modular signal switching and simulation for use in electronic test and verification - offering the largest range of switching for PXI, LXI Ethernet and PCI applications in the industry. Our expanding range enables us to give you the right amount of switching with the required performance at the right cost.
PXI From Pickering InterfacesPickering is a leading manufacturer of PXI switching modules. Offering the widest range of PXI switching solutions available, over 1000 modules, we can help you with your test and measurement requirements. We first entered the PXI market in 1998 and now offer more PXI modules than our competitors combined.
● Modules vary from our BRIC high density switching matrix, RF/Microwave, and optical switching products through to programmable resistor modules for sensor emulation.
● All modules come with a standard 3-year warranty. ● We are a Sponsor Member of the PXI Systems Alliance.
Pickering is the only PXI & PCI switch provider with in-house reed relay manufacturing capability. These instrument grade reed relays feature SoftCenter® technology, ensuring long service life and repeatable contact performance (for further information visit pickeringrelay.com). In addition, most of our switch modules use through-hole technology relays (as opposed to surface mount) allowing easy replacement without the need for special tools.
Product CustomizationPickering can also quickly develop custom solutions. Our modules and cards are designed and manufactured on our own flexible manufacturing lines, giving complete product control and enabling simple customization to meet very specific requirements. Please contact your local sales office to discuss.
Long Term Product SupportOur extensive switching experience and the fact that all of our critical components, software and cabling designs and manufacturing processes are done in-house enables us to provide you with long-term support—typically 15-20 years for many products.
Software CompatibilityOur PXI module and PCI card
drivers are compatible with all popular software: Windows, National Instruments
products (LabVIEW, LabWindows/ CVI, Switch Executive, MAX, NI TestStand, etc.), Microsoft
Visual Studio products (Visual Basic, Visual C+), Keysight (Agilent) VEE, Mathworks
Matlab and Marvin ATEasy, and our Switch Path Manager - signal routing software.
Hardware CompatibilityOur PCI Cards are compatible with
Specification 2.0 of the PCI standard and operate with a 33MHz 32-bit bus using either
+5V or universal signalling (see individual card data sheets for details).
Applications For Programmable ResistorsProgrammable resistors have many applications in automated test, verification and simulation systems:
● Temperature Sensor SimulationSimulation of resistance based temperature sensors such as positive or negative temperature coefficient thermistors.Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) can be wire-wound or thin film. PT100 and PT1000 types, along with others, can be simulated, requiring fine setting resolution.

● Strain Gauge SimulationStrain gauges are used in mechanical systems to measure the tension or compression of structural components. Simulation requires extremely fine setting resolution with high accuracy and temperature stability.
● Load Cell SimulationThe most common implementation is by using Strain Gauges. Programmable resistors in a wheatstone bridge arrangement can be used to simulate an applied force.
● Pressure Sensor SimulationFor the simulation of pressure senders in mechanical systems or barometric pressure sensors in applications such as altimeters in the aerospace industry.
● Select on Test ResistanceA programmable resistor can be used in a test environment where a component's value is optimized at the production test stage.
● Load ResistorWhere a circuit under test requires the connection of an external load.
● Position Sensor SimulationRotary or linear position sensors in mechanical systems usually take the form of potentiometers and are used in applications such as throttle position senders in automotive systems.
● Switch SimulationCan be used to simulate the contacts of a worn or contaminated switch for automotive ECU testing.
● Fault InsertionCan be used for injecting fault conditions when testing the fault tolerance of aircraft or automotive control systems.

What is a Programmable Resistor?A Programmable Resistor is designed to emulate the use of resistive sensors and variable resistors in systems when testing devices such as engine controllers.In their simplest form, our programmable resistors consist of a basic chain of resistance values switched in or out of circuit with reed relays, electro-mechanical relays or solid state switches. We also offer multi-channel programmable resistors with very fine value adjustment and high accuracy including programmable resistive bridges for strain gauge emulation.
Selecting a Programmable ResistorWe offer a variety of resistor modules and cards with different features which make them attrac-tive for different applications:
● PlatformSolutions in both the PXI and PCI formats.Ethernet control of any PXI module when installed in an LXI Chassis.
● Number of ChannelsBetween 1 and 18 channels.
● RangeA wide selection of resistance ranges are available with values from a short circuit to millions of Ohms.Modules and cards are available with a narrow setting range and very fine resolution suitable for simulating sensors and strain gauges.
● ResolutionA selection of resistance setting resolutions are available from 10Ω to 2mΩ suitable for a wide range of applications.
● Operating SpeedModules and cards based on electro-mechanical relays have an operating speed of typically 3ms. For higher speed, those based on reed relays are more suitable with an operating speed of typically 0.5ms.
● Power HandlingGenerally 100mW for precision programmable resistors and up to 1W for standard programmable resistors.We also offer a PXI programmable load module with up to 15W power handling (40-292).
● Minimum Resistance ValueThe lower the minimum resistance value required the greater the errors caused by relay contact resistance and copper trace losses.Generally, modules and cards with a low minimum resistance do not have as wide a range of resistance values as those with higher minimum resistances.
● AccuracyHigh accuracy requires careful design to ensure low loss paths, management of thermoelectric EMF and the use of higher stability resistors
● Calibration PortA calibration port allows the user to check the resistor channel without having to disconnect the front panel connector. It can be used to connect any of the resistor channels to a DMM to perform an accurate four terminal measurement.
● Custom Programmable ResistorsIf the desired accuracy, precision, range, number of channel, power handling, etc is not available then please contact your local sales office to discuss your application. We are often able to configure custom builds or even design a new version of a PXI/PCI model.
Our entire range of resistor modules and cards use real resistors, they do not use current loads or other electronic means to control the resistance value. Therefore they behave in exactly the same way as a real resistor.

Pickering Interfaces' Programmable Resistor Module Range
The following summarizes our programmable resistor range to help you chose the best model for your application:
40-290/291 (PXI) Programmable ResistorProvides two or four channels of variable resistance based on binary chains of resistors switched by reed relays. It is controlled using relay bit patterns to set the resistance values. It is ideal for lower density general purpose applications.
40-260 (PXI) Precision Programmable ResistorHigh performance three channel resistor module designed for wide resistance range with very fine setting resolution. Software control is easy as it uses resistance calls in ohms rather than bit patterns. It includes a calibration port on a separate connector.
40-293 (PXI) & 50-293 (PCI) Programmable Resistor & RelayOffers a lower cost alternative with lower accuracy than the 40-297/50-297. In addition to offering two or four resistor channels the design includes the option of 8xSPDT relays which can be used for general purpose switching applications or for inserting additional components into the resistor chains.
40-261 (PXI) Precision Programmable ResistorThis two channel module is similar to 40-260 but has a much lower bottom end resistance value. The design is optimized for high performance applications requiring low as well as high resistance settings. It uses a resistance call to set its value and has a separate calibration port.40-294 (PXI) & 50-294 (PCI) Programmable Resistor & Relay
Similar architecture to the 40-293/50-293 but using Pickering Reed Relays giving fast operation time and long service Life. In addition to offering two or four resistor channels the design includes the option of 8xSPST relays which can be used for general purpose switching applications or for inserting additional components into the resistor chains.
40-262 (PXI) & 50-262 (PCI) RTD SimulatorDesigned to provide a narrow resistance range with high channel count and very high performance levels. Intended specifically for RTD simulation applications, with builds aimed at PT100 and PT1000, they provide a simulation range of -25°C to +410°C. Through use of resistance calls, values can easily be adapted by the user into temperature settings corresponding to the required RTD device. The 40-262 and 50-262 both have separate calibration ports.
40-295 (PXI) & 50-295A (PCI) Programmable ResistorSuited to applications were speed of operation is more critical than accuracy, they use relay patterns for control and are ideal for real time applications. They are based on reed relays that have higher thermo-electric EMF values than electro-mechanical relays, and a higher contact resistance which leads to a higher residual path resistance.
40-265 (PXI) & 50-265 (PCI) Strain Gauge SimulatorDesigned specifically for strain gauge simulation, the 40-265 and 50-265 include a resistance bridge circuit and excitation system. Available with Bridge Impedances of 350Ω, 1kΩ, 1.5kΩ, 2kΩ and 3kΩ, the resistance control range is very small and has very fine resolution, allowing the emulation of small strain levels. They also have separate calibration ports.
40-296 (PXI) & 50-296A (PCI) Programmable PotentiometerBased on the same architecture as the 40-295 and 50-295A, the 40-296 and 50-296A have adjacent channels internally linked to provide the user with a potentiometer emulation.
40-297 (PXI) & 50-297 (PCI) High Density Precision ResistorFor applications where accuracy is important but the accuracy levels of the precision range are not required. Control is by resistance calls and the closest setting to the required value is calculated by the use of calibration information stored on-board. Both PXI and PCI versions have excellent accuracy and temperature stability.
40-292 (PXI) Load ResistorBased on solid state switching, this programmable resistor provides an adjustable load with up to 15W power handling. Offset resistors are included and the module can also be set for open or short circuit.
Custom PXI & PCI Programmable ResistorsWhen our extensive range of Programmable Resistor Modules and Cards do not meet the exact requirements for your application, we offer custom builds defined to meet your needs. Examples of customization can include the addition of an offset resistor, different resolutions and resistance ranges. Contact your local sales office with your requirements for more information.
40-280 (PXI) Selectable ResistorProvides an array of switched fixed value resistors. Each resistor can be set in-circuit, open circuit, or short circuit. This module is a good choice where you simply need to have a few fixed values rather than a variable resistor. The resistors can either be fitted by the user or we can load the values required.
