Description
The PXIe-4163 model, featuring part numbers 784483-01, 784483-02, and 140185D-01L, is a high-density, precision SMU (Source Measure Unit) introduced in 2014. It is designed for use with the NI PXI platform, offering a robust solution for demanding test and measurement applications.
This model boasts a high channel density, capable of supporting up to 24 channels per PXI Express slot. It provides users with two precision SMU versions: the 100PA (784483-01) and the 10PA (784483-02), catering to a wide range of measurement needs.
Operating within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, the PXIe-4163 ensures reliable performance across various environments. It supports a broad voltage range of -24 V to +24 V per channel, and a current range from -50 mA to +50 mA, with the ability to source or sink up to 100 mA per channel. This makes it exceptionally versatile for both sourcing and measuring applications.
With a current sensitivity of 100 pA and a sampling rate of up to 100 kS/s, the PXIe-4163 delivers precise and rapid measurements, essential for today’s fast-paced testing requirements. It is compatible with various software, including the NI DCPower driver, LabVIEW, and LabWindows/CVI, providing flexibility and ease of integration into existing systems.
The device also includes the use of the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) for configuration, simplifying setup and calibration processes. Overall, the PXIe-4163 represents a powerful and efficient solution for engineers and researchers requiring high precision and flexibility in their test and measurement applications.
