128-Crosspoint, 2-Wire PXI Matrix Switch Module

Overview

The PXI-2529 is a high‐density PXI matrix switch module that you can configure as either a 4x32 or 8x16 2-wire matrix by using different terminal block accessories. It uses electromechanical relays that offer excellent performance for high-power signals and low thermal offset for accurate measurements at low-voltage levels. The PXI-2529 also features onboard relay counting for relay monitoring and deterministic operation with hardware triggers to improve test throughput.
