Description
The PCI-4060 is a PC-based multimeter designed for a wide range of measurement capabilities including voltage, resistance, current, temperature, frequency, and diode testing. Manufactured by National Instruments, this device is known for its part number 184636F-01 and has an alternate part number of 777559-01. It is specifically designed for use in PCI slots, making it a versatile tool for many PC-based measurement applications.
This multimeter supports AC voltage measurements ranging from 20 Vrms to 250 Vrms and DC voltage measurements from +20 mV to +250V. When it comes to resistance measurements, it can perform both 2-wire and 4-wire measurements, with ranges of 200 Ω to 200 MΩ and 200 Ω to 2 MΩ respectively. For diode testing, it applies up to 2 V.
With an input resistance of 1 MΩ and a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 25 kHz, the PCI-4060 is equipped to handle a variety of applications. It is recommended that the device is warmed up for 30 minutes before use to ensure accuracy. The physical dimensions of this multimeter are 4.25 x 6.9 inches, making it compact enough for most setups. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 to 70 °C. The device can function in relative humidity levels of 10 to 90% (non-condensing).
Although National Instruments has announced the obsolete status of the PCI-4060, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Furthermore, calibration services are available, including NIST compliance, ensuring that the device remains a reliable and accurate instrument for various measurement tasks.
