Description
The PXI-2501 is a FET based PXI Multiplexer Switch Module, distinguished by its part numbers 18510.1, 777696-01, 185101G-01L. This device falls under the category of PXI Switches and is notable for its versatile configuration options. It supports 1-, 2-, 4-Wire configurations and can be set up as either a matrix or a multiplexer switch, catering to a wide range of application requirements.
One of the key features of the PXI-2501 is its maximum scan rate, which reaches up to 15,000 channels/s, ensuring efficient and rapid signal routing. To facilitate connections, it uses a 68-pin male SCSI connector, making it compatible with a variety of systems and setups. The dimensions of the PXI-2501 are 21.6 cm x 2.0 cm x 13.0 cm, and it weighs approximately 6.1 oz, making it compact and lightweight for easy integration into PXI systems.
Regarding timing and synchronization, the PXI-2501 features PXI Trigger Lines (Input) with a latency of 70 ns and Front Panel Trigger Lines (Input) with a latency of 500 ns. Furthermore, it offers an output trigger option with PXI <0…7> lines, front panel, and a 1 µs pulse width, enabling precise control and synchronization with other modules and instruments.
The default configuration mode of the PXI-2501 is set to two-wire, but it also supports other configuration modes including one-wire, three-wire, four-wire, and a 2-wire 6×4 crosspoint matrix, providing flexibility in meeting various connectivity needs. For enhanced matrix configuration, the device is compatible with the TB-2606 terminal block, an accessory that simplifies the connection and setup process.
In summary, the PXI-2501 is a versatile and efficient FET based PXI Multiplexer Switch Module, designed to meet a wide range of switching requirements in PXI systems. Its robust feature set, including high scan rates, multiple configuration options, and compact dimensions
