SCXI-1160 Universal switch module

SCXI-1160 is a general-purpose switch module produced by National Instruments (NI) for signal routing, control, and data acquisition applications. This module has multiple independent channels, usually including 8, 16, 32, or more channels, which can be determined based on specific models.

The main features of SCXI-1160 include:

High speed switching: supports fast switching to meet the needs of high-speed signal acquisition and control applications. The maximum switching rate is 50 operations per second, ensuring fast and accurate data transmission.
Flexible configuration: This module can be programmed with software to set channel switches. Users can choose specific channel connection methods according to their actual needs, such as unipolar, bipolar, unipolar, etc. In addition, SCXI-1160 also has five jumpers for configuring signal connections and routing.

Signal isolation: The module provides signal isolation between channels, reducing signal interference and cross interference, and improving the accuracy of data acquisition.
High precision acquisition: capable of collecting various analog signals with high precision, such as voltage, current, temperature, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data.
Multi channel acquisition: supports simultaneous acquisition of multiple channels, which can process multiple input signals simultaneously, improving system integration and data processing efficiency.
Programmability: Supports configuration and control through programming, allowing users to write programs based on actual needs and implement various complex control logic and algorithms.
Communication interface support: This module supports multiple communication interfaces, such as Ethernet, serial interface, etc., to facilitate communication and connection with other devices and systems.
In addition, SCXI-1160 is easy to configure and maintain, and its design takes into account ease of use and maintenance, allowing users to easily configure and debug. At the same time, it also has characteristics such as shock resistance and moisture resistance, making it suitable for various harsh environments.

This module is widely used in various fields, including automated testing, data collection and control, laboratory measurement, etc. Whether used for signal routing, signal switches in testing systems, or multi-channel measurement and control, SCXI-1160 can provide excellent performance and reliability.
