Description
The part number 778572-36 identifies a state-of-the-art PXI Switch, specifically the model PXI-2536. This model is a highly versatile 8×68 FET Switch Matrix Module, designed to fit perfectly into a single-slot, 3U PXI form factor. It offers a flexible configuration that can be set up as either a 4×136 one-wire or 8×68 one-wire matrix, employing FET (Field Effect Transistor) technology for its switching operations.
One of the key advantages of the PXI-2536 is its unlimited mechanical lifetime, coupled with the ability to establish unlimited synchronous crosspoint connections. This feature, alongside its high switching speed of up to 50,000 cps, makes it an invaluable tool for applications geared towards routing low-power DC signals for validating and testing mass-produced devices.
The module is compatible with notable instruments such as the NI PXI-4110 and the NI PXI-4071 7½-digit FlexDMM, enhancing its utility in a wide range of setups. Its voltage rating stands at ±12 VDC/8 VAC, ensuring it can handle a variety of signal types effectively.
Software support for the PXI-2536 is extensive, including compatibility with NI-SWITCH, NI Switch Executive, NI TestStand, NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and NI Measurement Studio for VB6.0. This extensive software support ensures that users can easily integrate the PXI-2536 into their existing systems without significant compatibility issues.
