Overview
Software
The National Instruments PXI-2576 is a multibank multiplexing module
with 16 banks of 4x1 2-wire multiplexers. With the flexible architecture
of the NI PXI-2576, you can configure it in a variety of topologies
that make it suitable for parallel measurement operations requiring
low-channel counts. In addition, you can combine all multiplexers on
the PXI-2576 to form a single high-channel-count multiplexer featuring
64 2-wire channels. The module can be programmed with a variety of
software including NI-SWITCH and NI Switch Executive.
All National Instruments PXI switch modules are shipped with
NI-SWITCH, an IVI-compliant driver offering complete functionality
for all switch modules. For additional assistance in configuring,
programming, and managing higher-channel-count switching systems,
NI Switch Executive software offers an easy-to-use, intelligent switch
management and visual routing environment. Use the NI-SWITCH
Soft Front Panel for simple relay operations or debugging
switch code/execution.
Automatic Scanning
The PXI-2576 maximizes throughput in automated test applications
using 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.

Relay Count Tracking
The PXI-2576 counts relay closures on each relay. Relay counts are
incremented each time a relay is actuated. You can retrieve the
counts, stored on board the module, programmatically and use them
for predictive maintenance to reduce unexpected system downtime.
