PXI 18 Bank, 3 Channel, 1 Pole Multiplexer

Overview

The 40-617 18-Bank, 3-Channel, 1-Pole Multiplexer Module forms part of the System 40 PXI Programmable Switching system. The Module consists of 18 electrically isolated banks of multiplexers controlled by a PXI/PCI interface. Each bank is a 1 to 3 multiplexer and operates with break-before-make action when a new channel is selected. Any Individual multiplexer bank can have a channel set by itself, alternatively, multiple banks can have channels selected simultaneously.

Inter-bank linking relays allow multiplexer size to be increased in multiples of 3 by joining the common terminals of adjacent banks. Closing one linking switch produces a 6 channel multiplexer, closing all linking switches produces an 54 channel multiplexer.

Note This multiplexer range includes various configuration options. Each configuration is designed to support only one mode that defines whether that specific configuration supports single or multiple channel operation. The alternative range referenced above has been introduced to allow a specific configuration to be defined with either a single or multiple-channel operation option. Please refer to the alternate range product page when considering new system designs that can benefit from this flexibility.
