what is the bandwidth of the relays used on PCI-6520?

Hi TestEngineer,

 

Thank you for posting to NI forums.  So far, I haven?t found documentation on the bandwidth of the 6520?s relays.  I will be contacting our R&D department to find out, and I?ll post back with my results as soon as possible.  Thank you for your patience.

 

Best regards,

Hi TestEngineer,

 

We do not specify the bandwidth of the relays on the 6520.  This device is not intended for use with high frequency signals.  However, the relays themselves do have a very high bandwidth, and they should not be the limiting factor when routing sinusoidal signals through the device.

 

If you suspect the frequencies of your signals to be pushing the limits of the device, I would recommend simply testing the application to determine the attenuation after routing the signal.
