Overview
Automatic Scanning
The National Instruments PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 high-density solid-
state relay (SSR) matrix modules feature 256 crosspoints in a compact,
single-slot, 3U PXI form factor. The NI PXI-2533 is configured as a
4x64 one-wire matrix and the NI PXI-2534 is configured as an 8x32
one-wire matrix. Because the modules use SSR technology, they offer
unique benefits such as unlimited mechanical lifetime and the ability
to route 55 V at 1 A on all channels simultaneously (unlimited
simultaneous crosspoint connections). These features make the
PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 ideal for routing general-purpose signals in high-
The PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 maximize throughput in automated test
applications through scanning. Scanning improves throughput by
downloading a list of up to 32,000 connections to the switch and cycling
through the list using an event (trigger) without any interruption from the
host processor. Scanning is most efficiently accomplished by mating the
PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 modules with an instrument, such as the PXI-

Connectivity
The PXI-2533 and PXI-2534 modules use a single 68-pin SꢀSI connector.
You can connect signals to these modules using the NI SH68-68-S cable
and the NI TBX-68 external terminal block.

Ordering Information
All PXI switch modules from NI are shipped with NI-SWITꢀH, an
IVI-compliant driver offering complete functionality for all switch
modules. When programming high-channel-count switch modules such
as the PXI-2533 and PXI-2534, switch management software like
NI Switch Executive can help simplify programming. With NI Switch
Executive, you gain increased development productivity by interactively
configuring and naming switch modules, external connections, and
signal routes. You also increase test code reuse and system performance
using switch programming with NI TestStand test management
software, the NI LabVIEW and LabWindowsCꢀVI development
environments, and NI Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.
