The National Instruments SCXI-1163R is a 32-channel optically isolated solid-state relay switch module for SCXI systems operating in electrically noisy environments. It provides galvanic isolation between the host computer and switched circuits, eliminating common-mode voltages, ground loops, and voltage transients. The module operates in serial mode over the SCXIbus or in parallel mode when directly connected to compatible digital I/O devices, delivering 32 Form A relays organized in 8 banks with individual common poles.
