Description
The PXIe-4163 is a High Density Source Measure Unit (SMU) introduced in the year 2014. Known by its part number 140185F-01L, which is also recognized as 784483-01, 784483-02, 140185D-01L, this device stands out for its high channel density, offering up to 24 channels in a single PXI Express slot.
It is designed to operate within a voltage range of -24 V to +24 V for each channel, along with a current range from -50 mA to +50 mA, and can source or sink up to 100 mA per channel. Remarkably, it achieves a current sensitivity of 100 pA, ensuring precise measurements. The PXIe-4163 boasts an impressive sampling and refresh rate of up to 100 kS/s, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
Compatible with NI DCPower driver software, LabVIEW, and LabWindows/CVI, it offers flexibility in software integration. Configuration and management of the device are facilitated through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. It is engineered to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, ensuring reliability under various environmental conditions.
The unit is relatively lightweight at 13.9 oz. and compact with dimensions of 0.8 x 5.1 x 8.5 inches, making it an efficient choice for setups where space is at a premium. The PXIe-4163’s technical specifications define a versatile and powerful instrument, ideal for applications requiring high density and precision in source and measurement tasks.
