Thanks! 

I was trying to find a solution with our existing hardware.

 

 

I am trying to do an automatic open/short test on an IC and need to cycle through the 48 pins one by one, while the other 47 pins are connected to GND.

After talking with a few colleagues, I was reminded that there is a way to make it work with your existing hardware. If you use the NI-SWITCH driver, there are a set of individual relay control functions that will allow you to connect multiple inputs within the same multiplexer. However, this method will have a more complex code implementation, since you will need to control each individual relay manually. Here is an example that uses a for loop to close every relay on the 2576.

Sorry for the confusion!
