Data Sheet


The NI PXIe-2593 is a high-density 50 Ω RF relay module. You can programmatically configure it as an unterminated multiplexer, externally terminated multiplexer, or dimensionally flexible sparse matrix. Each configuration handles signal frequencies from DC to beyond 500 MHz. This one-slot switch module uses high-density push-on MCX connectors for discrete yet manageable cabling. The NI PXIe-2593 is designed to integrate with high-frequency instruments such as the NI PXI-5404 frequency generator and the NI PXI-5112 high-speed digitizer.

You need a cable to transmit signals between your device and your signal connections on your connector block.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
