With the ability to create up to a 4x2176 or 8x1088 one-wire matrix in a single PXI chassis and even larger configurations modules are built with sixteen 2x16 matrices, you can also create matrix sizes outside the standard terminal block configurations. Other one-wire configurations include a 16x32 matrix or four independent 4x32 matrices. In a two-wire configuration, you can build a dual 4x32 or 16x16 matrix. Contact NI for more with multichassis solutions, an NI 2531/2 is ideal for high-channel-count information on creating custom configurations. automated test configurations. Featuring compact reed relays with switching Relay Count Tracking speeds up to 2,000 cycles/s and the ability to synchronize with instruments, these modules provide maximum throughput in a test system for signals up to 100 VDC/100 VAC or 0.5 A. An NI 2531/2 counts relay closures on each of its 512 relays. Relay counts are incremented each time a relay is actuated. You can programmatically retrieve the counts, which are stored on board the module, and use them for predictive Matrix Operation maintenance to reduce unexpected system downtime. The NI 2531/2 modules are general-purpose matrices used to route referenced Automatic Scanning or differential signals. Through software, you can control the modules to connect any row to any column. One of the key advantages of these matrices is you can adapt them to your switching needs. You can configure them in many different matrix configurations by using NI terminal blocks listed. For example, you can create a 4x128 one-wire matrix by using the TB-2640 terminal block with an NI 2531/2 module. You can easily transform the same module into an 8x64 one-wire matrix by using a TB-2641 terminal block. Because the NI 2531/2 These modules 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. You can most efficiently implement scanning by mating an NI 2531/2 with an instrument such as the NI PXI-4070 6½-digit FlexDMM, which issues a trigger after each measurement. High-Density Multiconfiguration Matrix Switch Modules Signal Connections You can choose from several solutions for your signal connections. Terminal blocks provide connectivity to strain-relieved 0.050 in. pitch headers ideal for ribbon cable or to 68-pin VHDCI connectors with cabled breakout accessories. You also can use mass interconnect solutions from industry leaders such as Virginia Panel and MAC Panel.
