Features relay-based switching architecture with programmable row-column interconnections for signal routing applications. Operates via PXI backplane interface using standard register-based control protocol, supporting software drivers for common development environments. Enables automated test equipment configurations for multichannel measurement systems, signal distribution networks, and parametric testing. Typical applications include semiconductor device characterization, cable harness testing, sensor array interfacing, and general-purpose instrumentation switching where flexible signal path routing is required between multiple test points and measurement instruments. ## Function A relay switching module utilizing high density construction to provide a configurable 2-pole matrix of 8 x 4 crosspoints (8 rows, 4 columns) for signal routing in automated test equipment. Features gold-plated signal paths for low path resistance, minimal thermal EMF, and reduced signal degradation. Designed for PXI hardware platforms requiring precision switching for audio, video, or RF signals. Supports multiple operating modes including parallel connection for current sharing and series connection for voltage handling. Compatible with standard PXI control interfaces for integration into test systems. ## Platform This PXI matrix module provides high-density switching for signal routing. It is designed for PXI chassis, adhering to the PXI specification for power, timing, and communication. The module interfaces with other PXI modules via the PXI backplane and can be controlled via software drivers. Applications include automated test equipment (ATE) systems for RF and other signal switching. ## Application Designed for automated test equipment (ATE) and data acquisition systems, this module provides high-density signal routing with a 16x16 matrix of 2-pole, electro-mechanical relays supporting up to 2A current and switching up to 150 VDC/100 VAC and 60 W power. It enables medium voltage and power signal switching with 256 crosspoints for flexible connectivity, interfacing through 78-pin D-type or 160-pin DIN connectors. Typical use cases include complex signal routing, multiplexing, and switching in PXI-based test, measurement, and validation environments. ## Accessories Requires PXI or PXIe chassis for operation. Compatible with standard 3U PXI slots. Features 16x16 matrix configuration with 2-pole switching. Connector: 160-pin high-density DIN connector (female) for signals.
