NOTE FOR SYSTEMS WITH 1260-OPT 01T
The “Module-Specific Syntax” section of this manual shows the command syntax for the 1260-01S
Smart Card. If you are using the newer 1260-01T Smart Card, the commands will NOT work as
shown.
Consult the 1260-01T Manual for a description of the commands which may be used with the 1260-
01T Smart Card.
The channel numbers described in this manual are valid for the 1260-01T. The channel numbers
continue to be used for the 1260-01T.
The syntax of the commands which use channel numbers has changed for those cards controlled
by the 1260-01T.
The new syntax used to close a channel is:
CLOSE (@ <module address> ( <channel> ) )
For example, with for a relay module whose <module address> is set to 7, closing <channel> 0 is
performed with the command:
CLOSE (@ 7 (0))
Using the older 1260-01S, the command would be (as shown in this manual):
CLOSE 7.0
Many other command syntax differences exist. Please consult chapter 2 of the 1260-01T manual
for a description of the commands which are available for the 1260-01T.

Control Information for the 1260-45 (A, B, and C)
The following information describes the control-register-to-relay-channel mapping for a 1260-45
Relay Module. This information may be used to control a 1260-45 when using a 1260-01T in the
register-based mode of operation.
The relays used on this module are latching relays. They stay closed even if power is removed.
However, guard relays isolate the matrix from the edge connector when power is removed.
A variety of control registers are used to control the matrix relays. These control registers are
accessible by writing to memory locations in the A24 address space. The A24 address of each
control register is based on three items:
•the A24 Offset assigned to the 1260-01T by the Resource Manager
•the Module Address assigned to the relay module with DIP Switch SW-1
•which control register to write to (Control Register 0 through 5)
The “A24 Base Address” of the 1260-45 module can be computed by:
(A24 Address Assigned to 1260-01T) + (Module Address x 40016) + 1
For example, suppose the following setup:
A24 Address Assigned to 1260-01T by Resource Manager = 204 00016
Module Address of 1260-45 = 7
Then the “A24 Base Address” for the 1260-45 Module would be:
204 00016 + (7 x 40016) + 1 =
204 00016 + 1C0016 + 1 =
205 C0116
Control Registers are located at offsets from the “A24 Base Address” of the module. Control
Registers are located only at odd addresses. The following Control Registers are implemented by
the 1260-45:
Designator Offset from A24
Base Addr Description
CROWADDR1 0 Holds Row to Close, Channels 0000 thru 1315
CROWADDR2 2 Holds Row to Close, Channels 2000 thru 3315
OROWADDR1 4 Holds Row to Open, Channels 0000 thru 1315
OROWADDR2 6 Holds Row to Open, Channels 0000 thru 3315
CWADDR1 8 Write Address for columns 0 thru 7 of selected row
CWADDR2 A (hexadecimal) Write Address for columns 8 thru 15 of selected row
GRDADDR C (hexadecimal) Control Address for Guard Relays
NOTE: When using VISA functions, such as viIn8() and viOut8(), the base A24 offset of the 1260-
01T is already included by VISA. Therefore, when using a function such as viOut8() to write the
value A7 (hex) to CWADDR1 in the example above, do NOT include the A24 in the function call:
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

1260-45 User Manual
Addendum Page 6/98 3
Thus, the following function call may be used to write the value C6 to Control Register CWADDR1
of a 1260-45 at module address 7:
viOut8( hdl, 0x1C09, 0xA7 );
Relays are operated in parallel, up to all 16 in a column at one time. Relays are selected for
operation by writing to the CWADDR1 and CWADDR2 Control Registers before writing to
CROWADDR1 or CROWADDR2 (for closing relays) or OROWADDR1 or OROWADDR2 (for
opening relays).
The CWADDR1 and CWADDR2 together form a 16-bit control register which defines which of the
16-relays in the selected row will be operated. This is shown in the table below:
Control Register Bit Controls Column of
Selected Row Bit Weight
CWADDR1, bit 0 0 0x01
CWADDR1, bit 1 1 0x02
CWADDR1, bit 2 2 0x04
CWADDR1, bit 3 3 0x08
CWADDR1, bit 4 4 0x10
CWADDR1, bit 5 5 0x20
CWADDR1, bit 6 6 0x40
CWADDR1, bit 7 7 0x80
CWADDR2, bit 0 8 0x01
CWADDR2, bit 1 9 0x02
CWADDR2, bit 2 10 0x04
CWADDR2, bit 3 11 0x08
CWADDR2, bit 4 12 0x10
CWADDR2, bit 5 13 0x20
CWADDR2, bit 6 14 0x40
CWADDR2, bit 7 15 0x80
The following procedure may be used to open the relays in a selected row:
1) Determine which OROWADDR Control Register that will be used. For Channels 0000
through 1315, use OROWADDR1; for Channels 2000 through 3315, use OROWADDR2.
2) Determine which columns of the row are to be opened. Form the control values for
CWADDR1 and CWADDR2 by OR-ing the bit weights for the desired relays. For example, if
columns 0, 3, 12, and 13 are to be opened, the value 916 would be used for CWADDR1 and
3016 would be used for CWADDR2. Write the calculated values to CWADDR1 and
CWADDR2 (using ViOut8() or equivalent)
3) Write one of the following control values to OROWADDR1 or OROWADDR2, depending on
which row you wish to operate.
1. 1 : to open relays in row 0
2. 2 : to open relays in row 1
3. 4 : to open relays in row 2
4. 8 : to open relays in row 3

4) Wait 4 milliseconds
5) Write the value 0 to OROWADDR1 or OROWADDR2
The following procedure may be used to close the relays in a selected row:
1) Determine which CROWADDR Control Register that will be used. For Channels 0000
through 1315, use CROWADDR1; for Channels 2000 through 3315, use CROWADDR2.
2) Determine which columns of the row are to be closed. Form the control values for
CWADDR1 and CWADDR2 by OR-ing the bit weights for the desired relays. For example, if
columns 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 are to be closed, the value 2616 would be used for CWADDR1
and 8416 would be used for CWADDR2. Write the calculated values to CWADDR1 and
CWADDR2 (using ViOut8() or equivalent)
3) Write one of the following control values to CROWADDR1 or CROWADDR2, depending on
which row you wish to operate.
1. 1 : to close relays in row 0
2. 2 : to close relays in row 1
3. 4 : to close relays in row 2
4. 8 : to close relays in row 3
4) Wait 4 milliseconds
5) Write the value 0 to CROWADDR1 or CROWADDR2
Example:
Close Channel 2312, or matrix group 2, row 3, column 12:
1) Write 0 to CWADDR1
2) Write 1016 to CWADDR2 (this selects column 12)
3) Write 8 to CROWADDR1 (this selects row 3)
4) Wait 4 milliseconds
5) Write 0 to CROWADDR1
In addition to the matrix, there are guard relays which isolate the matrix from the edge connector
when the VXI chassis is powered down. When the chassis is powered up, the firmware on the
1260-01T will ensure that the guard relays are closed AFTER the firmware has opened all relays
within the matrix. However, if direct manipulation of the guard relays is desired, the value 3 may be
written to the control register GRDADDR to close the guard relays. The value 0 may be written to
open all guard relays.

MODULE SPECIFIC SYNTAX
Module Specific
Command Syntax
This section contains the command syntax information that is
unique to the 1260-45. A more detailed explanation of the
individual commands is contained in the 1260 Series VXI
Switching Cards Manual, Publication No. 980673.
The Module Specific Syntax for the 1260-45 is required in the use
of the OPEN and CLOSE commands. It will also appear in data
output by the 1260 Series Master in response to the PDATAOUT
command.
Syntax The Module Specific Syntax for the 1260-45 Quad 4 x 16 Signal
Matrix module is as follows:
<mod addr>.<grp no><row no><col no>
where <mod addr> is the switch card address.
NOTE:
The <mod addr> used here is not the VXIbus defined
logical address of the 1260 Series Master. It is peculiar to
the 1260 Series and describes the switching module in
relation to the 1260 Master. This address corresponds to
the binary value of the switch setting of SW1 on the
switching module PCB.
<grp no> is a reference to the matrix containing the relay to be
switched. It is a single digit number between 0 and 3.
<row no> is the matrix row to be connected. It is a single digit
number between 0 and 3.
<col no> is the matrix column to be connected. It is a two digit
number between 00 and 15.
