[BC] XDS Programming, DB-37 breakouts

[Mike McCarthy]

Next time I'm in the office, I'll shoot a shot of ours.

I'm using the DIN rail on just about anything I need a relay or can apply 
the concept.  Snap a device/socket to the rail and your done, wire and 
go.  More than one device, it's a real time saver. Grainger also has 1.5A 
12VDC DIN mounted PS's as well.  Which I use in remote control adapters to 
convert the 120V  remote control logic in older Harris TX stuff to 
12V.  All on a single rack panel.

The rail eliminates aligning relays, related mounting issues and is a real 
time saver.
