Description
The PXI-2530 is classified under the category of PXI Switches and is designed as a High-Density Multiplexer/Matrix Switch. This model is identified by part numbers 778660-01 and 189291A-01. It boasts a 128-Channel configuration, capable of switching speeds of up to 900 channels per second.
For multiplexer configurations, it supports 32 x 1 (4-wire), 64 x 1 (2-wire), and 128 x 1 (1-wire). In terms of matrix configurations, the options include 4 x 16 (2-wire), 8 x 16 (1-wire), and 4 x 32 (1-wire). The maximum switching voltage for channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground is 60 VDC and 30 VACrms, CAT I, respectively, with a maximum input current per terminal of 0.4 A and a maximum switching input power of 10 W.
The relay operates or releases within 555 μS, ensuring quick and efficient switching. Channel-to-channel isolation is excellent, at >60 dB over 200 kHz, ensuring minimal interference between channels. The bandwidth is impressive, with >15 MHz (16 x 1) and >3 MHz (128 x 1) in a 50 Ω system (1-wire).
Triggering can be achieved via the front panel or PXI trigger lines 0–7, offering flexibility in control. The connector type utilized is a 176-pin docking station plug front panel connector, facilitating easy integration into PXI systems. The operating temperature range is from 0 °C to 55 °C, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Lastly, the unit weighs 14 oz, making it a lightweight addition to any setup.
