Acquire Data at High Speed
You can sink up to 300 W of power into the PXI Electronic Load Module to test a range of electronic devices, all while gathering voltage and current measurements at rates up to 1.8 MS/s. The first PXI Electronic Load Module in the industry also features high-speed data converters that offer update rates up to 100 kS/s.
Improve Accuracy with Selectable Ranges
When measuring voltage or current with PXI Electronic Load Module, you have multiple measurement ranges to choose from. You can enhance the accuracy of your measurement by selecting the most suitable range for the magnitude of the measurement, optimizing the ADC range.
Tune the Transient Response
You can maximize stability, reduce overshoot, and decrease test times by digitally controlling the transient response of the PXI Electronic Load Module. NI SourceAdapt, a patented technology on PXI Electronic Load Module, power supplies, and source measure units (SMUs) is NI patented technology that eliminates custom circuitry.
Reduce Test Execution Time
You can eliminate the software overhead associated with software-controlled sequences and reduce test execution time with hardware-timed, deterministic sequencing and triggering that allow the instrument to execute commands without any intervention from the host software.
Use Remote Sense
Use remote sense which employs a pair of high-impedance sense lines to measure the voltage at your device under test (DUT) and compensate for any voltage drop between the DUT and the PXI Electronic Load Module. You can also programmatically isolate the PXI Electronic Load Module from your DUT with the built-in output disconnect relays.
Take Interactive Measurements
When you receive PXI Electronic Load Module, you’ll find an interactive soft front panel called InstrumentStudio™ software for immediate operation. This panel is compatible with other PXI power instruments, and you can simultaneously monitor and debug the instrument while running your code.
