NI 2833 matrix - Scanning possible?

[MarcoMauri]

I'm planning to build a matrix based on NI 2833 modules.

The matrix will connect test points with an external source meter.

The system will do the following (nothing new, I suspect 🙂 😞

1) Configure matrix to connect next channel

2) Perform test

3) Go to 1 until all channels are tested.

To improve performance, can the source meter and the matrix exchange handshaking signals?

Something like this: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/375472A-01/switch/handshakingg/

So basically I would like to "instruct" the matrix about the connections I need and then let run the test.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Marco

p.s. The source meter has digital I/Os able to perform this task.

Hey Marco,

The SwitchBlock modules (including 2833) do not support scanning as of NI-Switch 4.6.1.  However, our PXI and PXIe modules do, so I would recommend looking there if you'd like to use this feature.  Tell us more about your application (matrix size, current/voltage requirements, etc) and we can provide a PXI/PXIe solution.  For starters, I'd look at the PXI-2529, but if that won't work just post up.  Happy clicking!
