Description
The PCI-4060 is a PC-based multimeter designed and manufactured by National Instruments. Its part number is 184636C-01, also known as 777559-01. This device is tailored for a wide range of measurement capabilities including voltage, resistance, current, temperature, frequency, and diode testing.
For AC voltage measurement, it can handle ranges from 20 Vrms to 250 Vrms, while for DC voltage, the range is +20 mV to +250V. The device offers both 2-wire and 4-wire resistance measurement capabilities, with ranges of 200 Ω to 200 MΩ and 200 Ω to 2 MΩ respectively. It is capable of performing diode tests with voltages up to 2 V.
The input resistance of the PCI-4060 is rated at 1 Mohm, and it operates within a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 25 kHz. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that the device is given a warm-up time of 30 minutes. Physically, it measures 4.25 x 6.9 inches, making it a compact solution for many applications.
The operating temperature range is between 0 to 55 °C, with a storage temperature range of -20 to 70 °C. It is designed to function in environments with a relative humidity range of 10 to 90% (non-condensing). Although National Instruments has announced this model as obsolete, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Additionally, calibration services are available, including options for NIST accredited calibrations through a third party or basic in-house calibration.
