2Safety Information
Before using the SwitchPXIe module, ensure that the following safety information had been
read and understood.
WARNING
•Do not install or terminate fibers while a light source is active.
Care must be taken to ensure that the instrument has been turned
OFF before inspecting the end face(s) of the instrument, or any
optical patch cords connected to this instrument. Never look
directly into a live fiber; ensure that your eyes are protected at all
times.
•The use of controls, adjustments and procedures other than those
specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous situations or
impair the protection provided by this unit.
CAUTION
The SwitchPXIe modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Store the modules that are not installed in protective electrostatic
packaging.
IMPORTANT
•For electromagnetic compatibility, this instrument is a Class A
product. It is intended for use in an industrial environment. There
may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments, due to conducted as well as
radiated disturbances.
•Wherever the symbol is printed on the unit, refer to the
instructions provided in the device documentation for related
safety information Ensure that the required conditions are met
and understood before using the product.

3Introducing the SwitchPXIe –Optical Switch Module
The SwitchPXIe is an efficient solution for test procedure automation designed to be used on
the National Instruments PXIe platform. The MEMS based optical switch ensures repeatable
and low-loss switching to various test set-ups while taking advantage of the PXIe
mainframe’s flexible connectivity and high channel density form-factor.

IMPORTANT
All Crossover switch modules DO NOT HAVE A PARK STATE. When
plugging optical fibres into the ports or inspecting fibres, ensure that
the optical source is off to prevent user injury.

Status LED
The Status LEDs are used to denote the operation state of the SwitchPXIe. The different
colours have slightly different meanings for the different SwitchPXIe models.
3.4.1 For SwitchPXIe-1003 and SwitchPXIe-1103
•Blinking yellow: Indicates initialization on startup.
•All off- Indicates that the SwitchPXIe is in the PARK state (State 0).
•Solid green- Indicates which state the SwitchPXIe is routed to.
•Solid red- Indicates a Switch error. Most often this means an invalid route position.
3.4.2 For SwitchPXIe-1006/1009/1107
•Blinking yellow: Indicates initialization on startup.
•Solid green- Indicates successful initialization and communication.
•Solid red- Indicates a Switch error. Most likely an initialization error at startup.
3.4.3 For SwitchPXIe-1004
The SwitchPXIe-1004 is a 2x2 crossover switch. This means that it has only 2 valid states:
Transmit (T) and Cross.(C) The front panel LEDs on this switch will indicate which state the
switch is in. Further information can be gathered from the colour of the LEDs as such:
•Solid green- Indicates which state the SwitchPXIe is in (default is T)
•Solid red- Indicates there was an error in switching states. Only 1 LED will light up.
