PXI-2576

The PXI‑2576 is a multibank PXI multiplexer switch module with 16 banks of 4×1 2‑wire multiplexers. With the flexible architecture of the PXI‐2576, you can configure it in a variety of topologies that make it suitable for parallel measurement operations requiring low‐channel counts, or you can combine all multiplexer banks to form a single high‐channel‐count multiplexer featuring 64 2‑wire channels. It also features onboard relay counting for relay monitoring and deterministic operation with hardware triggers to improve test throughput.
