256-Crosspoint SSR Matrix Modules

Overview

The National Instruments PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 high-density solid-

state relay (SSR) matrix modules feature 256 crosspoints in a compact,

single-slot, 3U PXI form factor. The NI PXI-2533 is configured as a

4x64 one-wire matrix and the NI PXI-2534 is configured as an 8x32

one-wire matrix. Because the modules use SSR technology, they offer

unique benefits such as unlimited mechanical lifetime and the ability

to route 55 V at 1 A on all channels simultaneously (unlimited

simultaneous crosspoint connections). These features make the

PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 ideal for routing general-purpose signals in high-

density matrix applications. Use these modules with the NI PXI-4110

build high-density automated test systems up to ±55 VDC/30 VAC and 1 A.

Software

All PXI switch modules from NI are shipped with NI-SWITCH, an

IVI-compliant driver offering complete functionality for all switch

modules. When programming high-channel-count switch modules such

as the PXI-2533 and PXI-2534, switch management software like

NI Switch Executive can help simplify programming. With NI Switch

Executive, you gain increased development productivity by interactively

configuring and naming switch modules, external connections, and

signal routes. You also increase test code reuse and system performance

using switch programming with NI TestStand test management

software, the NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI development

environments, and NI Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.

Automatic Scanning

The PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 maximize throughput in automated test

applications through 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. Scanning is most efficiently accomplished by mating the

PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 modules with an instrument, such as the PXI-

Connectivity

The PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 modules use a single 68-pin SCSI connector.

You can connect signals to these modules using the NI SH68-68-S cable

and the NI TBX-68 external terminal block.
