Overview
Product Description
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. PXI matrix switch modules
activate multiple channels in a single instance. Select a
switch row to connect to any column and create routing
for multiple signals between instruments and the device
under test. Choose from high-speed, long-life reed relays
capable of switching up to 100 Vrms with up to 20 W of
power, or the higher power armature relays capable of
switching up to 60W of power. Multiple switch matrices
offer a variety of power and switch density options.

Hardware Platform
Software Applications
Compliance
Keysight soft front panels provide easy-to-use instrument
communications. The PXI matrix switch graphical user
interface guides developers through module setup so
users can quickly configure the switch states. Switch
control is also possible through the wide selection of
instrument program interfaces.
The matrix switch modules are PXI compliant with a J1
connector and can be used in PXI chassis with cPCI (J1),
PXI-1 (J1 only), or PXIe hybrid slot connectors.
The PXI format offers high performance in a small, rugged
package. It is an ideal deployment platform for many
automated test systems. In addition, a wide array of complementary PXI products are currently available, such as
multimeters, waveform generators, local oscillators,
digitizers, and RF switch modules.
Software Platform
IO Libraries
Keysight IO Libraries Suite offers fast and easy instrument
connections and now extends to modular instruments. IO
Libraries Suite 16 adds support for PXI, helping you
display all of the modules in your system, whether they
are PXI, PXIe, or AXIe, as well as view information about
installed software. In addition, the new version allows you
to more easily find the right driver and start module soft
front panels directly with Keysight Connection Expert.
Drivers
Keysight provides instrument drivers that work with your
choice of software, saving time and preserving software
and hardware investments. Keysight modular instruments
come with IVI-COM, IVI-C, and LabVIEW software drivers
that work in the most popular test and measurement
development environments including LabVIEW, MATLAB,
LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio C, C++, C#, VEE, and
Visual Basic.
With a broad selection of drivers already included, any
Keysight PXI matrix switch can be swapped out, replaced,
or upgraded with the latest version, requiring only minimal
software adjustments.
Easy software integration
In addition, application code examples are included for
LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Studio C, C++, C#,
Visual Basic, and MATLAB, providing switch set-up and
basic functionality. These application code examples are
easily modified to quickly integrate the switch module into
your measurement system.

M9120A 4x32, 2-wire PXI matrix switch
The M9120A high-density matrix is designed to switch
medium voltage/power signals. The 128, 2-wire armature
relays offer higher voltage switching and up to 60W per
channel. This module is ideal for telecom applications that
need to simultaneously send and return signals.
The matrix module includes a 4-wire-wide bus to route
signals between test instruments and your device under
test. To create larger matrices, multiple modules can be
linked together, for example, four rows of two M9120A
modules can be joined to create a 4x64 matrix. Easily connect to the matrix with a 78-pin Dsub female connector or
cable.

relays support signal switching up to 100 Vrms with 10 W
maximum power. The module includes a 4-wire-wide bus
to route signals between test instruments and your device
under test. To create larger matrices, multiple modules
can be linked together. For example, four rows of two
M9121A modules can be joined to create a 4x128 matrix.

M9122A 8x32, 1-wire, PXI Matrix Switch
The M9122A high-density, full 8x32 crosspoint switch
matrix offers high-voltage switching in a PXI module.
The matrix is designed with durable electromechanical
switches that are capable of switching up to 100 Vrms,
with up to 60 W of power.
Choose from crosspoints arranged in eight rows and
32 columns that can be activated instantaneously to
route signals in your test system. The module includes
an 8-wire-wide bus to easily route signals between test
instruments and the device under test. To create larger
matrices, multiple modules can be linked together. For
example, create a larger matrix by joining eight rows of
two M9122A modules to create a 16x32 matrix. Easily
connect to the matrix with a 50-pin Dsub connector or
cable.

For the ultimate in speed and flexibility, combine your switches
with other PXI modules in the Keysight M9018A PXIe chassis as
follows:
–– Select a PXIe system module, PCIe cable interface,or embedded controller (the Keysight M9021A is recommended)
–– If an external computer is being used, select an appropriate
PC interface card (the Keysight M9047A is recommended with
an external PC)
–– Select an appropriate cable to connect the computer interface
board to the system module (the Y1202A is recommended to
connect the M9047A and M9021A)
–– Select rack mount and EMC filler panel kits as required

Definitions for specifications
Specifications describe the warranted performance of
calibrated instruments that have been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature range of
0 to 55°C, unless otherwise stated, and after a 45 minute
warm-up period. Data represented in this document are
specifications unless other wise noted.
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product. Characteristics are
often referred to as Typical or Nominal values.
–– Typical describes characteristic performance, which
80% of the instruments will meet when operated over
a 20 to 30°C temperature range. Typical performance
is not warranted.
–– Nominal describes representative performance that
is useful in the application of the product when operated over a 20 to 30°C temperature range. Nominal
performance is not warranted.
Note: All graphs contain measured data from several
units at room temperature unless otherwise noted.
