The NI SCXI-1195 performs the same functions as the PXI-2595 but in a higher density, quad 4x1 multiplexing configuration. The PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 are capable of switching signals from DC to 5 GHz. The characteristic impedance of these modules is 50 Ω. The PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 have a maximum voltage rating of 30 Vrms with a maximum switching current of 500 mA. They are well-suited for applications that require the routing of high-frequency signals inside automated test equipment (ATE) systems because they can switch signals with very low insertion loss. In addition, the excellent voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) and isolation parameters make these modules the perfect choice in any system that is geared toward high-frequency applications 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. Use the NI-SWITCH soft front panel for simple relay operations or debugging switch code/execution.

Relay Count Tracking The PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 count relay closures on each of their RF relays. Relay counts are incremented each time a relay is actuated. The counts, stored on board the module, are retrievable programmatically, and you can use them for predictive maintenance to reduce unexpected system downtime.
