Developed as part of the QM Systems power rack, our QM45000 Multifunction Multiplexer (MUX) is an economical, one-box solution for medium to high density switch/measure applications in design verification, automated test systems and data acquisition.
The QM45000 Multiplexer features a 7 Slot mainframe with up to 128 channels per slot, providing as many as 896 switched channels. Interfaces include Standard Universal Serial Bus (USB), Recommended Standard 232 (RS232) or Recommended Standard 422/485 (RS422/485). High current (25A) 16 channel modules or the low current (1A) modules can be mixed in any configuration.

Possible configurations for the multifunction multiplexer:
The multiplexer module comprises 16 banks of 8 common relays. The commons are brought out to the external connector and can be linked to provide any combination of: 128:1 to 16:8. This relay module has been optimised for high voltage switching. It can be supplied with alternative relays, optimised for low voltage, low EMF, low capacitance or low contact resistance relays. System flexibility is also enhanced by the ability to mix module types within a single chassis.
