Description
The specifications for the PXI Source Measure Unit (SMU) include two part numbers, 779647-30 and 779647-31, indicating different variants of the module. This module is designed as a single slot, 3U PXI Module, making it compact and suitable for integration into PXI systems. It boasts an output voltage range of ± 20 V, allowing for a wide range of voltage applications.
When it comes to power, the SMU can source up to 40 W in quadrants I and III, and sink up to 10 W in quadrants II and IV, offering versatility in power sourcing and sinking applications. The current measurement resolution can reach down to 1 nA, providing high precision in current measurement tasks. Additionally, a utility channel output of up to 6 V and 1 A is available for auxiliary power needs or applications.
The module’s set-point and measurement resolution is 16-bit, ensuring precise control and measurement of the output. Software compatibility includes the NI-DCPower driver, LabVIEW, and LabWindows/CVI, facilitating easy integration with existing software environments and application development.
For optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 30 minutes is suggested before use. The SMU requires calibration periodically, either annually or every two years, to maintain accuracy and reliability. It has a lightweight design, weighing only 11 oz, and compact dimensions of 8.5 x 5.1 x 0.8 inches (W x D x H), making it easy to incorporate into various setups without requiring significant space.
