National Instruments PXI-2542 Switching Module

The National Instruments PXI-2542 (Part Number: 778572-42) is a terminated switching module that serves to route RF signals for creation test applications. It has superior solid-state relays that offer remarkable advantages, such as a boundless mechanical life and quick switching time. Front-mount SMA connectors offer simple association with the user’s RF gadgets and the module has termination on each channel and COM line. The termination of the channel and the COM lines help lessen reflections of the RF signal and ensure the user’s instruments.

This model includes an input trigger that is sourced by another instrument or by programming and causes the NI PXI-2542 to advance to the following section in the scan list. The triggers can be routed to any of the PXI TTL triggers or to the PXI star trigger. If no outside trigger input is accessible, the user can have the software trigger to the NI PXI-2542 advance to the following entry in the scan list.

LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI are innovative program improvement software packages for data acquisition and control applications incorporated in this model. LabVIEW utilizes graphical programming, while LabWindows/CVI upgrades traditional programming languages. The two packages incorporate broad libraries for data acquisition, instrument control, data analysis, and graphical data presentation. Utilizing LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI can fundamentally diminish the development time for the user’s data acquisition and control application.
