Board Description
The Marvin Test Solutions PXI GX6384 is a 384-crosspoint high-speed configurable switch matrix card that fits in a
single PXI/CompactPCI U bus slot. The GX6384 offers ultrahigh-density switch configurations in PXI with the
ability to create up to 6x64 switch matrix. The GX6384 is offered in tree configurations: two groups of 2x32
(GX6384-1), two groups of 4x32 (GX6384-2) or two groups of 6x32 (GX6384-3). All three board configurations
can be programmatically changed to a single group with same number of rows but double the number of columns as
single group of 2x64 (GX6384-1), single group of 4x64 (GX6384-2) or single group of 6x64 (GX6384-3). That
capability enables unprecedented flexibility for different testing requirements.
The PXI GX6384 is ideal for high-channel-count automated test configurations. Featuring compact reed relays with
high switching speeds provides maximum throughput in a test system for signals up to 100 VDC/100 VAC or 0.5 A.
combined with the user friendly 78 pin sub-D type interface connector.
