National Instruments PXI-2536 PXI Matrix Switch Module

The National Instruments PXI-2536 High-Density FET Matrix Switch Module (Part Number: 778572-36) highlights 544 crosspoints in a compact, single-slot, 3U PXI form factor. The NI PXI-2536 is arranged as a 4x136 one-wire framework and is designed as an 8x68 one-wire matrix. Since the module uses field effect transistor (FET) switch technology, it offers interesting advantages, such as boundless mechanical lifetime, boundless synchronous crosspoint connections, and switching speeds as high as 50,000 crosspoints per second. These highlights make the new FET switches perfect for routing low-power DC signals when validating and testing mass produced gadgets, like semiconductor chips. The PXI-2536 can be utilized with the NI PXI-4110 programmable power supply and the NI PXI-4071 71 ⁄2-digit FlexDMM to fabricate high-density computerized test frameworks up to ±12 VDC/8 VAC.

Every single National Instrument switch module for PXI comes with NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver that offers complete functionality for all switch modules. When programming high-channel-count switch modules such as the PXI-2536, the user can utilize switch management software, like NI Switch Executive to rearrange programming. With NI Switch Executive, the user can increase expanded improvement profitability by intelligently arranging and naming switch modules, outer associations, and signal routes. The user can additionally increment test code reuse and framework execution with switch programming in conjunction with NI TestStand test administration programming, the NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI development environments, and NI Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. FET switches do not have moving parts and they have a limitless mechanical lifetime.
