A selector panel will appear, listing all installed Pickering PCI, PXI/PXIe or LXI switch cards and resistor cards. Click on the card you
wish to control, and a graphical control panel is presented allowing operation of the card. Panels can be opened simultaneously for
all the installed cards.

Matrix Architecture
The 40-575A is a single pole switching matrix with 84 connections on the X-axis and 4 connections on the Y-axis.
Connections are made by operating the relays at the crosspoints between X and Y lines allowing single X-Y connections,
or X-X connections using a Y line as a path. The 40-576A, 40-577, 40-578 and 40-579 are controlled in the same way but
have matrix sizes of 64x6, 50x8, 36x12 and 28x16 respectively. The matrix architectures are shown in the diagrams below:
