NI PXI-2501

Low-Voltage Multiplexer/Matrix FET Switch

  • 48x1 (1-wire), 24x1 (2-wire), 12x1 (4-wire) modes with TB-2605
  • 4x6 (2-wire) matrix mode with TB-2606
  • 1024-step scanlist for deterministic scanning
  • Fully software programmable
  • Easy instrument synchronization with hardware triggers

The National Instruments PXI-2501 performs as a multiplexer or matrix switch. The NI PXI-2501 is ideal for applications that require high-speed scanning of low-voltage signals (±10 V) because it uses FET switches with very low settling times (30 µs).
