How to Use This Manual This User Manual is designed to assist users in the installation of the JYTEK PXI-67931, 4x8 2-Wire Matrix PXI Switch module. Chapter 1 Introduction Gives an outline and overview of JYTEK switch modules’ features, specifications, and applications.
Introduction JYTEK PXI-67931 is a matrix module with 32 cross-point 2-wire relays (DPDT, 2 Form C). The default configuration of the PXI-67931 is a 4-group 2x4 2-wire matrix. With the termination board, TB-6231, users can flexibly choose one of the configurations: one 4x8, two 4x4, one 2x16, two 2x8, and four 2x4.

This configuration can let user simultaneous connects one or more input signals to one or more devices. All signal paths on PXI-67931 are inherently break-before-make.
Configurations The TB-6231 is a screw terminal board with D-sub 62-pin female connector. The terminal board can attach to PXI-67931 directly, or through JYTEK‘s custom- made high-capacity 62-pin D-sub cable. Users can use the TB-6231 terminal board to make various matrix configurations.

Trigger In The Trigger In signal from PXI instruments or external measurement devices instruct the JYTEK PXI switch module to update the relay pattern according to the one specified in the scanlist entry. Users may specify wait-for-trigger instruction in a scanlist entry, to have the switch module wait for the Trigger In before relay pattern is updated.

4.5 Auxiliary Digital I/O The eight auxiliary digital I/O lines on JYTEK Switch Modules provide versatility to users’ control applications. Each digital I/O line can be input, output or tri-stated. When in output mode, users can still read back the actual logic- level on the I/O line.
Note: Microsoft Windows 2000 does not natively support hot-swap however, PXI-67931 can be hot-swapped by manual control via an additional hot-swap driver. For the hot-swap driver on Windows 2000 and other operating systems such as Linux, VxWorks, etc., please contact JYTEK for more information.
Star Trigger In Figure 23: Available trigger sources for emergency shutdown The default relay pattern for emergency shutdown is All-Off on PXI-67931; users can change the pattern by Windows API. Upon receiving the emergency shutdown trigger, the Switch Module enters shutdown mode, and the relay pattern is switched to the preset state.
