I am not sure what you mean by SWITCHING MATRIX but TestStand 2.0.1 has two ways of interacting with switching hardware. (1) Using the IVI Switch step type and (2) Using NI Switch Executive.
The IVI Switch step type allow you to use a class layer directly from withing TestStand to perform switching operations to an IVI compatible instrument driver for a specific type of hardware switch. All configuration is defined by the steps.
NI Switch Executive is an intelligent switch management and routing application that NI just released. NI Switch Executive allows you to interactively define and name switch routes that you later call from your test application. TestStand offers easy integration between the two products by allowing you to specify at the
step level whether to connect and/or disconnect routes you define within the NI Switch Executive application. You can find out more information on the NI Switch Application at, http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=10861〈=US
I should point out that the downloadable evaluation versions of TestStand 2.0.1 and evaluation of the NI Switch Executive work together.
Hope this helps...
