Datasheet
The 7703 plug-in module offers 32 channels of 2-pole or 16
channels of 4-pole multiplexer switching that can be configured as
two independent banks of multiplexers. The non-latching reed relays
provide high speeds and are designed for 300 volt, 500 mA; 10 VA.
The relay closures are stored in onboard memory. The 7703 is ideal
for RTD and thermistor temperature applications.
Key Features
• 32 channels for general purpose measurements
• Relay actuation time of less than 1ms for high-speed scanning
• Two- or four-wire measurement
• Two 50-pin female D-sub connectors are standard for secure
hook-up and quick teardown
