Definitions

Warranted Specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty. Specifications account for measurement uncertainties, temperature drift, and aging. Specifications are ensured by design or verified during production and calibration.

Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.

  • Typical—describes the performance met by a majority of models.
  • Typical-95—describes the performance met by 95% (≈2σ) of models with a 95% confidence.
  • Nominal—describes an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.
  • Measured—describes the measured performance of a representative model.

    • Values are Typical unless otherwise noted.

    Conditions

    Refer to ni.com/docs for detailed specifications on the specific instruments used within the ETX-16400/16401.

    Note Other product and company names listed are trademarks or trade names of their respective companies.

    These specifications apply to all ETX-16400/16401 configuration options unless otherwise noted. Specifications are valid for the system and all included instruments under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.

    • High-Power Production Test Base System environmental characteristics are met
    • Instrument-level conditions are met

    Calibration Conditions

    The performance of an externally calibrated instrument is defined in the instrument specifications. Additionally, specifications for externally calibrated instruments are only valid if the conditions defined in the instrument specifications are met.

    ETX-1640x Mass Interconnect Pinouts

    The ETX-1640x has a mass interconnect component with the following measurement category, isolation voltages, and pinouts.

    Measurement Category

    Caution Do not connect the product to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
    Attention Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour effectuer des mesures dans ces catégories.
    Warning Do not connect the product to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV, or for measurements on MAINs circuits or on circuits derived from Overvoltage Category II, III, or IV which may have transient overvoltages above what the product can withstand. The product must not be connected to circuits that have a maximum voltage above the continuous working voltage, relative to earth or to other channels, or this could damage and defeat the insulation. The product can only withstand transients up to the transient overvoltage rating without breakdown or damage to the insulation. An analysis of the working voltages, loop impedances, temporary overvoltages, and transient overvoltages in the system must be conducted prior to making measurements.
    Mise en garde Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour des mesures dans ces catégories, ou des mesures sur secteur ou sur des circuits dérivés de surtensions de catégorie II, III ou IV pouvant présenter des surtensions transitoires supérieures à ce que le produit peut supporter. Le produit ne doit pas être raccordé à des circuits ayant une tension maximale supérieure à la tension de fonctionnement continu, par rapport à la terre ou à d'autres voies, sous peine d'endommager et de compromettre l'isolation. Le produit peut tomber en panne et son isolation risque d'être endommagée si les tensions transitoires dépassent la surtension transitoire nominale. Une analyse des tensions de fonctionnement, des impédances de boucle, des surtensions temporaires et des surtensions transitoires dans le système doit être effectuée avant de procéder à des mesures.

    Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.

    Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.

    Isolation Voltages

    Isolation voltages only apply to hazardous voltage pins on the J13 and J15 mass interconnect connectors in the ETX-1640x.

    Connectors not referenced in the following table have no isolation voltage ratings and are not intended to handle voltages above 30 V RMS, 60 V DC, or 42.4 V peak.

  • Working Voltage—The highest RMS value of the AC or DC voltage across the insulation that can continuously occur when the equipment is supplied at rated voltage.
  • Transient Overvoltage (V peak)—An overvoltage condition of a relatively short duration, a few milliseconds or less, oscillatory or non-oscillatory, usually highly damped.
    • Table 1. Isolation Voltages on Mass Interconnect Connectors
    Connector Isolation Barrier Maximum Working Voltage Transient Overvoltage
    J13 Channel-to-ground/earth (Common Mode) 300 V DC 0 V peak
    J15 Channel-to-ground/earth (Common Mode) 1500 V DC 0 V peak
