The NI PXI-2535 is configured as a 4x136 one-wire matrix and the NI PXI-2536 is configured as an 8x68 one-wire matrix. Because the modules use field effect transistor (FET) switch technology, they offer unique benefits such as unlimited mechanical lifetime, unlimited simultaneous crosspoint connections, and switching speeds as high as 50,000 crosspoints per second. These features make the new FET switches ideal for routing low-power DC signals when validating and testing mass produced devices such as semiconductor chips. Use the PXI-2535 and PXI-2536 with the NI PXI-4110 programmable power supply and the NI PXI-4071 71⁄2-digit FlexDMM to build high-density automated test systems up to ±12 VDC/8 VAC. Benefits of FET Switches 1. Faster switching speeds: Because FET switches do not have moving parts, they are able to switch between ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ states very quickly. FET switches have much faster switching speeds than armature and reed relays. The PXI-2535 and PXI-2536 can switch up to 50,000 crosspoints per second. 2. Increased lifetime: FET switches do not have moving parts. They therefore have infinite mechanical lifetime. 3. Low power consumption: FET switches require very little power to switch between states. The power the PXI backplane supplies is enough to simultaneously close all relays on the PXI-2535 and PXI-2536. Software All National Instruments switch modules for PXI are shipped with NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver that offers complete functionality for all switch modules. When programming high-channel-count switch modules such as the PXI-2535 and PXI-2536, you can use switch management software such as NI Switch Executive to simplify programming. With NI Switch Executive, you gain increased development productivity by interactively configuring and naming switch modules, external connections, and signal routes. You also increase test code reuse and system performance with switch programming in conjunction with NI TestStand test management software, the NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI development environments, and NI Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.
