Serial AC Power Sequencer
90-200-001 - Pickering Interfaces Inc.
Each power outlet can be programmed to switched on in sequence with a specific timing delay. The delay can be staggered to ensure that order dependent systems - like PXI - can be switched on and off in an orderly way with just one operation. A staggered start up also limits the inrush current associated with the powering up of equipment, including 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 serial interface.

LXI Remote AC Power Management Switch
If you have ever read the term "programmable except for the supply on/off switch", Pickering's LXI remote AC power management switch can provide this additional capability in a system with the added benefit of an easy to use LXI interface. This power management switch provides a means of remotely controlling the power status of up to eight instruments in a system through an LXI enabled power management switch. Additionally, the Power Management Switch is available as an RS232 serially controlled version.
