Description
The PXIe-4162 is a high-precision Source Measure Unit (SMU) designed for use in PXI systems. With its part number 785680-01, this SMU falls under the category of PXI Source Measure Units. It is equipped with 12 SMU channels that offer a fine current resolution of 100 picoamperes (pA), making it suitable for a wide range of measurement applications.
The device boasts a remarkable maximum test speed of up to 100,000 samples per second (kS/s), ensuring swift and efficient testing processes. One of its standout features is the SourceAdapt functionality, which allows for optimal performance adjustments to match various test scenarios. The PXIe-4162 provides a versatile voltage range from -24 volts (V) to +24 V and a current range from -100 milliamperes (mA) to +100 mA, accommodating a wide array of test requirements.
For software integration, this device requires the NI-DCPower driver software and supports application development in environments such as LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI. It is also compatible with the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) for easy configuration.
The physical dimensions of the PXIe-4162 are 0.8 inches x 5.1 inches x 8.5 inches, and it weighs approximately 13.9 ounces. It features a hard reset method that can be initiated via the device itself or through software, ensuring easy recovery from any state. Furthermore, calibration options are available, including those accredited by NIST, providing assurance of measurement accuracy and reliability.
