Topologies PXI-2564 8-DPST Topology Module software name: 2564/8-DPST (NISWITCH_TOPOLOGY_2564_8_DPST) The module is composed of 16 electromechanical armature latching SPST relays. For certain applications, you may need to increase the default settling time. Note Switching inductive loads (for example, motors and solenoids) can produce high voltage transients in excess of the module's rated voltage.

Isopropyl alcohol ■ Cotton swabs ■ Note NI recommends using lead-free solder for relay replacement on lead-free assemblies, and lead solder for relay replacement on lead assemblies. Notice Do not rework lead assemblies using a lead-free work station. Lead solder from the unit could contaminate the station.
