The product described, known by its part numbers 190335A-01 and 778572-32, falls under the category of PXI Switches. Specifically, it is the PXI-2532 model, a National Instruments PXI-2532 PXI Matrix Switch Module. This module is designed to fit into a 3U PXI slot, making it highly versatile for various PXI chassis configurations.
The PXI-2532 boasts an impressive 512-crosspoint matrix switching capability, allowing for extensive connectivity options for test and measurement setups. It operates with a maximum switching power of 10 W and can handle a maximum switching/carry current of 0.5 A per channel. This module is not only powerful but also offers high-speed performance with a bandwidth of ≥30 MHz in 1-wire configurations and ≥25 MHz in 2-wire configurations.
In terms of connectivity, the PXI-2532 utilizes PXI trigger lines 0–7 for input trigger signals. It features a trigger characteristic time of 150 ns, which can be reduced to <150 ns with digital filtering disabled, ensuring quick response times for automated test sequences. The module’s relay release time is notably swift at 0.25 ms, contributing to its efficiency in rapid switching applications.
The mechanical relay life of this PXI Matrix Switch Module is exceptionally high, with a lifespan of 1 × 109 cycles, indicating its durability and reliability over extensive use. It also supports simultaneous driving of up to 40 relays in PXI configurations and 64 relays in PXI Express configurations, offering flexibility in system expansion and complexity.
