Multiplexers make PXI switching more
versatile
Pickering Interfaces has expanded its large range of PXI switching modules with the introduction of two new versatile mux solutions, the 40-612 and 40-613.
Pickering Interfaces has expanded its large range of PXI switching modules with the introduction of two new versatile mux solutions, the 40-612 and 40-613 The 40-612 is a software configurable mux that can support one- or two-pole configurations with isolation relays

High-current PXI switches use solid-state relays
Range contains eight modules configured as fault insertion, SPST relay, multiplexer and matrix switches at 10A/200V and 30A/40V.
Switching module handles high current and voltage
PXI power relay module provides 24 SPST switches each capable of switching currents up to 4A and hot switching voltages up to 250V AC.
The flexible software controlled architecture supports diverse mux configurations varying from a single-pole 128-way mux to eight banks of eight-channel two-pole muxes.
The 40-613 is a software configurable mux supporting two-pole configurations.
The flexible software controlled architecture supports mux configurations varying from a two-pole 64-way mux to 16 banks of four-channel mux.
Both modules are implemented using high quality electromechanical relays rated for operation to 220V DC and 250V AC and 2A hot or cold switching.
Each PXI module occupies just one 3U PXI slot and is supplied with VISA and kernel drivers.
According to Shaun Fuller, Product Manager for PXI switching at Pickering Interfaces: "The new modules are particularly useful for applications where there are a variety of different test targets requiring different switching configurations or where the test application is expected to change with time".
"The ability to configure a mux without adding or modifying jumpers or changing the connector block on a module is a real plus, speeding test program development and minimising the possibility of damage or error".
"The 40-612 and 40-613 are each designed to provide a flexible and robust solution to mux selection".
