Description
The PXI-2530 is a highly versatile PXI Switch that falls under the category of PXI Switches. It features a variety of part numbers including 189291E-01L, 778660-01, and 189291A-01, making it easily identifiable for specific requirements. This model boasts a 128-Channel PXI Matrix Switch Module, designed to cater to a wide range of switching needs.
One of the key specifications of the PXI-2530 is its switching speed, which can reach up to 900 channels per second. This high speed allows for efficient testing and switching operations in a variety of applications. The module also supports multiple multiplexer configurations such as 32 x 1 (4-wire), 64 x 1 (2-wire), and 128 x 1 (1-wire), as well as matrix configurations including 4 x 16 (2-wire), 8 x 16 (1-wire), and 4 x 32 (1-wire). These configurations provide flexibility in connecting and routing signals for different testing scenarios.
When it comes to voltage and current specifications, the PXI-2530 is capable of handling a maximum switching voltage of 60 VDC and 30 VACrms (CAT I) between channels and also from channel-to-ground. The maximum input current allowed is 0.4 A per terminal, with a maximum switching input power of 10 W. This ensures that the module can safely and effectively manage power for a variety of devices and signals.
The relay operate/release time is remarkably fast at 555 µS, which contributes to the overall efficiency of the switch. Moreover, the PXI-2530 boasts a mechanical life of 1 × 109 cycles, indicating its durability and reliability for long-term use. Channel-to-channel isolation is greater than 60 dB over 200 kHz, ensuring minimal interference between channels for accurate and reliable measurements.
In terms of signal integrity, the bandwidth of the PXI-2530 is impressive, with more than 15 MHz (16 × 1) and more than 3 MHz (128 × 1) in a 50 Ω system, which is suitable for a wide range of signal frequencies. Additionally, it supports trigger signals from both the front panel and PXI trigger lines 0–7, allowing for
