Overview
Software
The National Instruments PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 are 4x1 highfrequency, unterminated multiplexing switches. The NI SCXI-1195
performs the same functions as the PXI-2595 but in a higher density,
quad 4x1 multiplexing configuration. The PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 are
capable of switching signals from DC to 5 GHz. The characteristic
impedance of these modules is 50 Ω.
The PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 have a maximum voltage rating of
30 Vrms with a maximum switching current of 500 mA. They are
well-suited for applications that require the routing of high-frequency
signals inside automated test equipment (ATE) systems because they
can switch signals with very low insertion loss. In addition, the excellent
voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) and isolation parameters make
these modules the perfect choice in any system that is geared toward
high-frequency applications
All National Instruments PXI and SCXI switch modules are shipped with
NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver offering complete functionality
for all switch modules. For additional assistance in configuring,
programming, and managing higher-channel-count switching systems,
NI Switch Executive software offers an easy-to-use, intelligent switch
management and visual routing environment. Use the NI-SWITCH
soft front panel for simple relay operations or debugging switch
code/execution.
Relay Count Tracking
The PXI-2595 and SCXI-1195 count relay closures on each of their
RF relays. Relay counts are incremented each time a relay is
actuated. The counts, stored on board the module, are retrievable
programmatically, and you can use them for predictive maintenance
to reduce unexpected system downtime.
