National Instruments PXIe-4162 PXI Source Measure Unit

The PXIe-4162 (Part Number: 785680-01) is a unit of estimation of high-density source (SMU)-the device is equipped with 12 SMU channels. It has an activity of 4 quadrants with a current resolution of 100 pA and the ability to test up to 100 kS/s. The module also offers the capacity to amplify steadiness and estimation exactness with the SourceAdapt feature, which enables the user to customize the transient reaction to integrate the qualities of any load. The NI PXIe-4162 is perfect for an extensive variety of mixed signal integrated circuits in the semiconductor production test. The user can indicate any substantial information terminal for this technique. Substantial terminals are recorded in MAX in the Routes tab of the gadget.

The input terminals can be indicated in one of two different ways. If the gadget is called Dev1 and its terminal is PXI_Trig0, the user can indicate the terminal with the name of the completely qualified terminal Dev1/PXI_Trig0, or with the name of the abbreviated terminal, PXI_Trig0. The input terminal can likewise be a terminal of another gadget. For instance, the user can arrange the info terminal in Dev1 to be Dev2/SourceCompleteEvent. The device has a voltage reange of -24 V to 24 V, and a current range of -100 mA to 100 mA.

To successfully install the NI-DCPower driver software which is required to run the device, an App Development Environment is required–any of LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI would suffice. Also, the software can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. The device is a single-slot module with one backplane connector. The device weighs 13.9 oz and has the dimensions: 0.8 x 5.1 x 8.5 in.

The PXIe-4162 can be reset to a known state. The technique disables power generation, reestablishes session properties to their default estimates, clears mistakes such as over-temperature and surprising loss of auxiliary power, affirms session properties, and leaves the session in the Uncommitted state. This technique additionally plays out a hard reset on the gadget and the driver programming. This strategy has an indistinguishable usefulness from utilizing the reset in Measurement and Automation Explorer.
