Can I close multiple output channels in parallel on one COM line using the PXI-2503

I want to fan out a power supply to four DUTS. During current testing, I will want to turn on one DUT at a time. During other tests, I want to power all four DUTS in parallel. This will require turning on four output channels at once in each mux bank. Can this be done using the PXI-2503?

Yes, It is possible when you use the 24x1 Mux toplogy. Simply connect as many channels as you want to com0.

I assume this is true in the 4x6 2-wire mode. This is how I would use the module with up to four channels connected to each COMx input.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

4x6 2-wire mode should work fine. You can connect the power supply to one column, and the DUTs to each row. The rows can be connected to the column one at a time or all at once.
