Analyzer & Hardware Settings (IV Analyzer)
Last Modified: December 14, 2018
Use this section of the IV Analyzer to enter basic measurement settings.
The following Analyzer mode settings are available.
Diode
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Analyzer mode | Device to analyze – select Diode. |
| Series resistance | Appears when Diode is selected in Analyzer mode. This controls an internal variable resistor in the NI ELVIS III that is connected to the DUT+ connector. This resistor limits the current through the diode under test. The steps in this control are logarithmic: 10 Ω, 100 Ω, 1 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 100 kΩ, 1 MΩ. |
| Connections | Connection diagram that shows how to connect the diode being measured to the NI ELVIS III. |
Transistor
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Analyzer mode | Device to analyze – select Transistor. |
| Transistor type | This appears when Transistor is selected in Analyzer mode. Select NPN or PNP. |
| Collector resistance | Appears when Transistor is selected in Analyzer mode. This controls an internal variable resistor in the NI ELVIS III that is connected to the DUT+ connector. This resistor limits the current through the transistor under test. The steps in this control are logarithmic: 10 Ω, 100 Ω, 1 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 100 kΩ, 1 MΩ. |
| Connections | Connection diagram that shows how to connect the transistor being measured to the NI ELVIS III. This changes to reflect the selected Transistor type. |
