Multiplexer Configurations
Dimensionally Flexible Sparse Matrix Configurations
The NI 2593 and SCXI-1193 are 16- and 32-channel unterminated multiplexers,
You can configure the NI 2593 modules as flexible sparse matrices, which

traditional sparse matrix made from two multiplexers with their COM terminals
connected, these modules use a flexible architecture in which you can define
the row and column dimensions. There is no restriction on row-to-row or
column-to-column connections. For example, you can configure the 18 terminals
on the NI 2593 modules as a 2x16, 4x14, or 9x9 sparse matrix, or any size in
between. It is even possible to connect multiple crosspoints simultaneously.
Figure 1 demonstrates the configuration capabilities of an NI 2593 as a
dimensionally flexible sparse matrix.
High-Frequency Multiplexer/Matrix Modules
System Integration
The NI 2593 modules have a flexible scan list architecture that can reduce
overall data acquisition and test time. A scan list delivers the fastest scan
possible by providing a hardware-timed solution. You can configure the module
to process the scan list once or to continuously loop through the scan list.
Commands in the scan list can open or close relays, wait for an external trigger,
and generate a scanner advanced trigger. The external trigger, sourced by
an instrument, such as an NI PXI-5411 arbitrary waveform generator, causes
the switch module to advance to the next entry in the scan list. The scanner
advanced trigger indicates when the module has closed all specified relays
and the relays have settled. The scanner advanced trigger is typically connected
to a measurement device, such as the NI PXI-4070 FlexDMM, which is
configured to take a reading upon receiving the trigger.
