National Instruments PXI-2798

The National Instruments PXI-2798 (Part Number: 782358-01) is a high-performance PXI Transfer Switch Module designed for routing RF and microwave signals in automated test applications. Featuring an impressive bandwidth of up to 40 GHz and less than 1 dB of insertion loss, the PXI-2798 effectively maintains signal integrity even at lower frequencies. This module leverages the inherent timing and synchronization capabilities of the PXI platform to facilitate communication between various instruments housed within the PXI chassis. Users can store switch associations directly on the module, allowing for rapid sequence execution without software overhead, resulting in reduced bus latency and enhanced test throughput. The PXI-2798 includes advanced relay health monitoring features, such as onboard relay count tracking and functional resistance tests accessible via the NI Switch Health Center, a complimentary application that integrates with the NI-SWITCH driver. These features aid in monitoring relay performance, guiding replacement efforts, and generating detailed user reports, ensuring reliability in high-channel-count systems. Ideal for demanding applications, the PXI-2798 has a maximum RF carry power of 18 W and operates with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The module measures 8.5 x 1.6 x 5.1 inches and weighs 9.75 ounces. For further assistance or pricing inquiries, please contact a sales representative.
