Description
The PXI-2536 is a high-density FET matrix switch module designed for routing low-power DC signals for validation and testing of mass-produced devices. It features a part number of 197118A-02 (778572-36) and falls under the category of PXI Switches. This module is well-suited for applications that require a high number of crosspoints, as it boasts 544 crosspoints.
With a form factor of 3U PXI, Single-slot, it provides an efficient use of space within the PXI chassis. The PXI-2536 can be configured as either a 4×136 or an 8×68 one-wire matrix, offering flexibility in connectivity based on the specific requirements of the testing setup. At the heart of its operation is the Field Effect Transistor (FET) switch technology, which is known for its unlimited mechanical lifetime and the capability for unlimited synchronous crosspoint connections. This technology also enables it to achieve an impressive switching speed of up to 50,000 crosspoints per second, making it an ideal choice for high-speed testing environments.
The PXI-2536 is compatible with several pieces of equipment from National Instruments, including the NI PXI-4110 programmable power supply and the NI PXI-4071 7½-digit FlexDMM, further extending its utility in a wide range of measurement and testing applications. Moreover, it is supported by a comprehensive suite of software options including NI-SWITCH (an IVI-compliant driver), NI Switch Executive, NI TestStand, NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and NI Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. These software solutions provide users with extensive control and flexibility, allowing for seamless integration into existing systems and easy programming for automated testing scenarios.
