COM2 COM3 COM30 CH30 Topologies PXI-2568 15-DPST Topology Module software name: 2568/15-DPST (NISWITCH_TOPOLOGY_2568_15_DPST) The module is composed of 31 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.
