These Switch Modules are built with several different relay
types, as determined by the switched signals.
Type S Standard reed relay is used for general purpose instru-
mentation level signals.
Type M Mercury reed relay switches higher power signals.
Type LT Low Thermal reed relay has a thermal offset of less
than 1 microvolt and is used for for very low level signal appli-
cations.
Type HV High Voltage reed relay is rated at 1500 volts break-
down voltage.
Type P High Power armature relay has an AC rating of 2000
VA and can switch up to 8 amps.
Type S, Type M, Type LT, and Type HV are all high reliability
reed relays with a guaranteed life of 100 million operations when
used within the following specifications. Type P relays are ar-
mature type and have a mechanical life of 10 million cycles.

This Software displays a full Graphical User Interface (GUI) on
the controlling computer. The operator controls the Mainframe
with simple mouse point-and-click operations. The software
can also be used to control the unit over a LAN.
A demo version is available on our web site at:

The LX Mainframes can be computer controlled via the
modules listed below. Each Control Module selects any
Switchpoint and Latches, Unlatches and returns Status
of that point.
This is currently available for use with the IF-5 IEEE488/RS232
Control Module. Application Programs running on the Palm
PC display a virtual keypad manual control.

Drivers and Sample Programs are available for the most com-
mon programming languages. These check the entire system
by cycling through all switches, sequentially latching and un-
latching each switch while checking Status.
This module requires 14 individual TTL level binary lines from
the controlling computer. These select Switch and Mode, Strobe
the selected command and return SwitchPoint Status.
This module combines both the IEEE488 Talk/Listen and the
RS232 features detailed in the AP-5 Bulletin.
