I would like to test a bunch of sensors. Each sensor has a DB15 connector with mixed digital and analog signals (bw ~5MHz, Z ~120R).
I am looking for an instrument where I can control which couple of sensors I would like to interconnect to the measurement PC. I've seen commutation switch such as the Keithley 3706A, but these guys does not accept custom commutation board when I can populate my own connectors and my own relays.
So I am thinking to make my own commutation system with a MCU, a FTDI and a bunch of analog switch and relays.
I feel this is a very common need in the testing area and I would like to know what commercial solution can be used in my case.

Hi,
How many sensors do you need to control simultaneously? Are you going to use all of them at once, or swap out for different tests?
