Description
The National Instruments PXIe-2529 PXI Matrix Switch Module, with part number 198531D-01L (780587-29), falls under the category of PXI Switches. This device is designed to offer flexible configuration options, including a 4×32 or 8×16 2-wire matrix, catering to a variety of testing needs and setups.
It boasts a maximum switching power of 30 W, 37.5 VA, ensuring it can handle a diverse range of signals. The relay type used in this module is electromechanical, non-latching, and field replaceable, which highlights the unit’s ease of maintenance and longevity. The DC path resistance is described as a contact and trace resistance blend, with mutual resistance from one row to one column, ensuring reliable connectivity and signal integrity.
At the end of the relay’s life, the contact resistance exceeds > 1 Ω, indicating the durable and robust design of the switch module. For software compatibility, the PXIe-2529 supports NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver, and NI-SWITCH Executive Software, providing users with versatile options for integration and control within their test systems.
