National Instruments PXIe-4141 Precision PXI Source Measure Unit

The PXIe-4141 (Part Number: 781743-01) Source Measure Unit highlights cutting edge SourceAdapt innovation that specialists can use to custom tune the SMU output reaction to any offered load to accomplish the most extreme steadiness and least transient circumstances. This Source Measure Unit is well-suited for high-pin-count applications.

The PXIe-4141 requires the presence of an Application Development Environment such as LabView or LabWindows/CVI on the computer. Then, the NI software can be installed by inserting the driver software media into the computer. With the NI-DCPower programming test board, the user can rapidly investigate or troubleshoot the NI PXIe-4141 SMU tasks intelligently. To get up and running quick, utilize the DCPower Express VIs as an instinctive, arrangement-based strategy for controlling NI SMUs in the NI LabVIEW graphical improvement condition. For low-level control of SMU equipment, the IVI-compatible NI-DCPower instrument driver gives a total API that exposes the full usefulness of the equipment in an intuitive hierarchy. NI-DCPower also incorporates prewritten example programs that show concepts ranging from simple configuration to advanced sweeping and monitoring. The PXIe 4141 should be calibrated at least once a year.

The PXIe 4141 has 10 pA current sensitivity, does not include auxiliary power, 30-minute warm-up time, a self-calibration feature, and must be operated within the 23°C to ± 5 ºC temperature range. Also, the instrument should be calibrated at least once a year. The device has a voltage range of -10 V to 10 V; and a current range of ±100 mA. The PXIe-4141 weighs 14.99 oz and has the dimensions: 0.8 x 5.1 x 8.5 in. The device has a 25–point D–SUB and male front panel connector.

The NI PXIe 4141 module highlights a fast sequencing engine to synchronize tasks between numerous SMUs inside every module, across various PXIe-4141 modules, or with different instruments. Sending and accepting triggers or events is directed through the PXI Express backplane to improve programming and framework wiring. This implies executing accurately organized test programs, including different SMUs, is clear. The device has a PXI Express power requirement of 600 mA from the 12 V rail and 350 mA from the 3.3 V rail.
