Description
The PXIe-4163 is part of the PXI Source Measure Units category, offering a high-density Source Measure Unit (SMU) solution. It is designed to fit up to 24 channels in a single PXI Express slot, making it an efficient choice for applications requiring multiple channels without consuming excessive space. Its part numbers include 784483-01, 784483-02, and 140185D-01L.
This model boasts a versatile voltage range of -24 V to +24 V per channel, coupled with a current range of -50 mA to +50 mA. It is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 100 mA per channel, with an impressive current sensitivity of 100 pA. The PXIe-4163 offers a high sampling and refresh rate of up to 100 kS/s, ensuring accurate and timely measurements.
Designed for a wide range of operating temperatures, it functions optimally between 0 °C to 55 °C. The unit is compatible with NI DCPower driver, LabVIEW, and LabWindows/CVI software, facilitated by the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) for easy configuration. It allows for the integration of up to 408 high-precision SMU channels in 4U of rack space when used in a PXI chassis, highlighting its scalability and precision for demanding applications.
The PXIe-4163 is lightweight at 13.9 oz. and has compact dimensions of 0.8 x 5.1 x 8.5 in, making it an ideal choice for setups where space is at a premium. It employs a 62-pin connector for reliable electrical connections. Regular maintenance is recommended with a calibration interval of 1 year, and it offers NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party for those requiring documented accuracy assurance.
