They each have 10 channels, with the PXI-2585 configured as a 10x1 multiplexer and the PXI-2586 configured as independent SPST (Form A) relays. Both have low contact resistance and high isolation voltage. The NI PXI2585 and PXI-2586, rated for both high currents (up to 12 A) and high voltages (up to 300 VDC/300 VAC), are ideal for switching power signals and loads in control applications, and battery, power supply, and automotive testing. In AC applications, they can switch up to 3000 VA. For DC, see Figure 1. Automatic Scanning The PXI-2585 and PXI-2586 maximize throughput in automated test applications by the use of scanning. Scanning improves throughput by downloading a list of up to 32,000 connections to the switch and cycling through the list using an event (trigger) without any interruption from the host processor. Scanning is most efficiently accomplished by mating the PXI-2585 and PXI-2586 with a companion modular instrument that will issue a trigger after each measurement is complete. Software All National Instruments PXI and SCXI switch modules are shipped with NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver offering complete functionality for all switch modules. For additional assistance in configuring, programming, and managing higher-channel-count switching systems, NI Switch Executive software offers an easy-to use, intelligent switch management and visual routing environment.
