Taking Interactive Measurements with an LCR Meter Course Overview
This course will enable Test and Validation Engineers to take inductance, capacitance, and resistance measures with NIs LCR Meter, the PXIe-4190. The course will focus on how the PXIe-4190 can be leveraged to perform common tasks and tests, such as single-point measurements, C-V sweeps, and frequency sweeps. The course will guide the learner through the complete test workflow: from configuration and cabling to calibration, troubleshooting, and ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements. This course will also focus on automation through software applications including LabVIEW and InstrumentStudio.
