Overview

If you have ever read the term “programmable except for the supply on/off switch” the 60-200 can now provide this additional capability in a system with the added benefit of an easy to use LXI interface. The 60-200 provides a means of remotely controlling the power status of up to 8 instruments in a system through an LXI AC power management switch. Each outlet can be timed to be switched on with a specified sequence and timing delay. The delay can be staggered to ensure that systems like PXI that are order dependent can be switched on and off in an orderly way from just one switch operation. The staggered start up limits the inrush currents normally associated with the application of power to equipment, including the earth current inrush, placing less stress on cabling and leakage breakers. Power on or off instructions can be initiated from either the front panel switch or via the LXI compliant LAN interface.
