The NI AMUX-64T is an analog multiplexer that expands the input channel capacity of National Instruments MIO and E Series data acquisition devices. It routes and manages signals in automated test and measurement systems using 16 separate 4-to-1 multiplexer circuits, configurable as 64 single-ended or 32 differential analog inputs. An integrated temperature sensor supports thermocouple cold-junction compensation, while open component positions allow insertion of custom signal conditioning such as filters, attenuators, or current measurement circuits.
