Model KPXI-DIO-16-16 16 Isolated Digital Input and 16 Isolated Digital Output PXI Module

Isolated digital communication is one of the most common requirements of a production test system because of the need to communicate with handlers, binning equipment, and user controls. Keithley's digital I/O modules can also interact with racks of instruments to trigger events, start readings, and collect pass/fail results. Digital triggering and response enables fast and reliable test results that are not dependent on the communication bus in use. For hybrid test applications using smart instruments and digital communication techniques, tests can be run with instruments on GPIB, LXI, USB, or a serial bus without changing system performance.

The KDIO-DRVR driver package offers example programs, such as a startup application that performs basic functions and verifies board communication. Also included is Code Creator, which lets users program with drop down menus and then displays the equivalent code in C.
