The National Instruments PXI-2529 is a high-density matrix built to serve high-channel-count switching applications. The module is a 2-wire matrix, configurable with front-mounting terminal blocks to achieve two different matrix configurations (4x32 and 8x16). The NI PXI-2529 is designed to work well with both low- and high-voltage levels. For low-voltage measurements, the PXI-2529 uses relays with low thermal offset to ensure accurate measurements. These same relays can handle up to 150 Vrms or 150 VDC.
