Some switch modules are capable of tracking relay usage using the niSwitch Get Relay Count VI or the niSwitch_GetRelayCount function.

The following switch modules do not support relay counting:

  • NI PXI-2501
  • NI PXI-2503
  • NI PXI-2565
  • NI PXI-2590
  • NI PXI-2591
  • NI SCXI-1127
  • NI SCXI-1128
  • NI SCXI-1129
  • NI SCXI-1160
  • NI SCXI-1161
  • NI SCXI-1163R
  • NI SCXI-1190
  • NI SCXI-1191
  • NI SCXI-1192

If you replace a failed relay, you can use the Switch Soft Front Panel to reset the relay count.
