GENERAL PURPOSE REED RELAY MODULE  50-110/115-021/121

Register-level Programming

Where the supplied drivers are not suitable, register-level programming can be employed - for example:

 

If the functionality of the supplied drivers does not meet the application requirements

 

If security considerations demand full source-code for the application

 

In development environments that have alternate mechanisms for accessing PCI bus

 

For operating systems other than Windows

General Pickering Card Architecture

With  most  drivers,  before  programming  a  Pickering  card  it  is  important  to  understand  the  basic  architecture  of 

Pickering cards.

The switches on a Pickering card are organized into logical sub-units, each sub-unit containing a set of objects of 

similar type and use. These objects may be switches, digital outputs, digital inputs, resistors, power supplies etc, 

depending on the nature of the specific card.

For  example  a  simple  matrix  card  will  usually  contain  a  single  sub-unit  containing  the  switches  arranged  in  a 

2-dimensional array. However a similar card with additional isolating relays connected to the matrix will contain 

additional sub-units containing those isolation relays.

Low level drivers include functions to allow the programmer to query the card to ascertain the number of sub-units, 

and the size and type of each sub-unit.

For full details of the driver functions available the programmer should refer to the documentation provided.
