The PXI‑2568 is a general-purpose switch module that features independent single‑pole single‑throw (SPST) Form A armature relays. Each relay is nonlatching with very low on-resistance and low thermal offsets. The PXI‑2568 is fully software programmable. With an efficient coupling of voltage/current capability and relay density, this switch module is ideal for automated test equipment (ATE) loads or for controlling heaters, lights, and fans.
Applications and Use Cases of PXI-2568
The PXI-2568 Relay Switch Matrix Module is a PXI-based relay switch matrix module designed for high-density signal routing, multiplexing, and automated switching systems. It provides flexible matrix configurations and reliable relay-based switching, making it ideal for automated test equipment (ATE), data acquisition systems, and large-scale measurement applications.
