Overview
Product description
The PXI multiplexer switch modules deliver high-speed signal
routing of many different channels to a single point, and are ideal
for routing multiple analog signals to a measurement device in
Automated Test Environments (ATE) or data acquisition systems.
These switches can operate in a break-before-make mode,
ensuring no two points are connected at the same time, or, when
needed, allowing multiple channels to be connected simultaneously.
The modules include an isolation switch that connects the closed
channels to a module common, which minimizes the capacitive
loading and leakage currents in larger multiplexer systems. You
can also expand multiplexers by linking the common connections
of multiple PXI cards.
Installation and configuration is fast and easy with standard
cable connections or an optional connector block, soft front
panels, and Keysight Technologies, Inc. Connection Expert. In
addition, software drivers support the most common programming
environments such as Visual Studio, C, C++, Visual Basic, MATLAB,
and LabVIEW.

Hardware platform
Drivers
Compliance
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.
The multiplexer 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.
With a broad selection of drivers already included, any Keysight
PXI Multiplexer switch can be swapped out, replaced, or upgraded
with the latest version, requiring only minimal software adjustments.
Software platform
Easy software integration
IO libraries
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.
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.

Software applications
Keysight soft front panels provide easy-to-use instrument
communications. The 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.

Specifications and Characteristics
M9101A PXI high-density multiplexer
The M9101A high-density, 64-channel multiplexer has been
designed to route many different channels to a single point.
The relays are capable of switching up to 100 Vrms, with up to
20 W of power, and are ideal for routing analog signals to
test instruments in automated test environments (ATE) or
data acquisition systems. Each channel has a high and a low
connection for 2-wire switching, while an isolation switch
connects all closed channels to the module common to minimize
capacitive loading and leakage currents in large multiplexer
configurations. Easily connect the multiplexer with a high-density,
200-pin low force helix (LFH) connector or cable.

1. Not for connection to mains.
2. Channel resistance is typically < 1.5 Ω but can go as high as 50 Ω when
a channel is used in measurement applications with < 10 mA load
current. Increased relay channel resistance for measurements with load
currents below 10 mA can occur on cards that have been out of service
or following relay inactivity for periods greater than 1 week. Switching
relays for 2K cycles prior to use may reduce the variation in channel
resistance. Keysight recommends the use of 4-wire Ohms for resistance
measurements. For high accuracy voltage measurements, select the
DMM input resistance setting of >10 G ohms to minimize the impact of
relay contact resistance.

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 otherwise
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.
