National Instruments PXIe-4080 PXI Digital Multimeter

The National Instruments PXIe-4080 (Part Number: 783129-01) is a 6½-Digit, ±300 V, Onboard 1.8 MS/s Digital Multimeter. This high-performance PXI Digital Multimeter provides the measurement capabilities found in a high-resolution DMM and a digitizer, which are two common test instruments. As a DMM, the NI PXIe‑4080 delivers speedy, accurate AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, 2‑ or 4‑wire resistance, and frequency/period measurements, as well as diode tests. In the high-voltage, isolated digitizer mode, the PXIe‑4080 can acquire waveforms at sample rates to 1.8 MS per second maximum.

The NI PXIe‑4080 has an input impedance of 1 MΩ ± 2% in parallel with 150 pF, maximum DC voltage component of 250 V, and common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) >70 dB (DC to 60 Hz). This Digital Multimeter has a frequency range from 15 Hz to 500 KHz and period measurement range from 2 µs to 66.67 ms. It has an input protection of 300 VDC or ACrms. The NI PXIe‑4080 features 6½ digits at 100 S per second, 5½ digits at 3 kS per second, 10 to 23-bit flexible resolution, voltage measurements up to 300 Vrms, current measurements up to 1 A, and resistance measurements up to 100 MΩ. The device has a current mode fuse rating T 1 A 400 V, time-lag user-replaceable Minimum interrupt rating: 500 A Littelfuse 0477001.MXP. It has a power consumption of less than 9 W from PXI Express backplane.

The device operates using the NI-DMM driver software which is compatible with software packages/application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, ANSI C or Visual Basic. The device hardware can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.

The PXIe 4080 has an ambient temperature range of 0 0 C to 55 0 C and a relative humidity range of 10% to 90% (noncondensing) in an operating environment. The storage ambient temperature range is -40 °C to 70 °C and the maximum altitude is 2,000 m (at 25 °C ambient temperature). The device weighs 12 oz., and measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in dimensions. The PXIe 4080 has a recommended warm-up time of 60 minutes.

The PXIe‑4080 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the PXIe‑4080 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the PXIe‑4080 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
