Description
The product detailed herein is identified by the part number 777697-01 and is modeled as PXI-2503. It falls under the category of PXI Multiplexer Switch Module. This module is versatile in its configuration options, offering setups in 1-, 2-, or 4-Wire configurations with 6, 12, 24, or 48 channels, catering to a wide range of application needs.
Connectivity is facilitated through a Hybrid connector, specifically a 68-pin male SCSI I/O connector, ensuring reliable and efficient connections. At its core, the PXI-2503 utilizes Electromechanical relays to perform its switching functions. Users can define up to a 1,024-step scan list, allowing for extensive automated testing sequences or signal routing schemes.
Software support is provided by the Windows-based NI-SWITCH software, enhancing the module’s usability with a user-friendly interface for setup and control. The device boasts a bandwidth of 10 MHz, suitable for a variety of signal types. Power efficiency is also a key feature, with typical consumption at 370 mA and not exceeding 700 mA at +5 VDC.
The relay’s operate time is both quick and reliable, with a typical time of 3 ms and a maximum of 5 ms at 20 °C. Durability is a hallmark of this module, with a mechanical life expectancy of 5 x 107 cycles, and an electrical life expectancy of 2 x 105 cycles. It operates optimally within a temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C, ensuring reliability across various working environments.
