Accessory Specifications

These specifications apply to the ACC-4162-1 or ACC-4163-1 while in use with the corresponding the PXIe-4162/PXIe-4163 SMU. These specifications supercede the relevant device specifications while the accessory is attached.

Notice You must verify that the correct accessory model is attached to ensure that these specifications are in effect. You can determine the connected accessory model with NI Measurement & Automation Explorer or the NI Systems Configuration API.
Notice To ensure that the accessory is detected accurately in configuration software you must reboot the chassis after installing or uninstalling the accessory.
  • The PXIe-4162 is a 12-Channel, ±24 V, 100 mA SMU.
  • The PXIe-4163 is a 24-Channel, ±24 V, 50 mA SMU.

For complete device specifications refer to the PXIe-4162/PXIe-4163 specifications available at ni.com/docs.

Definitions

Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.

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 specifications describe the performance met by a majority of models.
  • Nominal specifications describe an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.

Specifications are Typical unless otherwise noted.
