MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-658: MULTIPLEXER MODULES The 40-658 Power and Sense Multiplexer Module utilises 2 arrays of 18 DPST relays. In the default state all relays are open circuit. Energising a particular relay creates a signal path between the common terminals and the corresponding channel terminals.

For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading.
