National Instruments Releases PXIe 4081

National Instruments has released the PXIe-4081 7½-digit DMM and 1.8 MS/s isolated digitizer.

The NI PXIe-4081  7½-digit DMM, has 15 ppm accuracy for DC voltage measurements up to two years after calibration. It is capable of voltage measurements from nanovolts to one kilovolt and resistance measurements from microohms to gigaohms. A solid-state current shunt configuration offers eight DC current ranges from 1 µA to 3 A and six AC rms current ranges from 100 µA to 3 A. For high-throughput applications, the isolated digitizer mode can acquire DC-coupled waveforms in all voltage and current ranges with a 1.8 MS/s maximum sample rate.

The driver software has a programming interface that works with C, Microsoft .NET and LabVIEW.

“Customers often choose the PXI platform to lower their cost of automated test based on the accuracy, channel density and speed of PXI instruments,” said Steve Warntjes, vice president of R&D, modular instruments at NI. “The NI PXIe-4081 builds on more than 20 successful years of NI PXI DMMs by providing a code-compatible migration option to PXI Express, extending the lifecycle of critical test and measurement functionality and doing it at the highest performance levels possible.”
