3U PXI module that provides the measurement capability found in two
common test instruments – a high-resolution digital multimeter (DMM)
and a digitizer. As a DMM, the PXI-4071 delivers fast, accurate voltage
measurements from 10 nꢀ to 1000 ꢀ, current measurements from 1 pA
to 3 A, and resistance measurements from 10 µΩ to 5 GΩ, as well as
takes frequency/period and diode measurements. In the high-voltage,
isolated digitizer mode, the PXI-4071 can acquire DC-coupled waveforms
at sample rates up to 1.8 MS/s in all voltage and current modes. Using
the analysis functions in NI LabꢀIEW software, you can analyze these
waveforms in both the time and frequency domains. The PXI-4071 offers
superior speed, accuracy, and functionality, making it an excellent fit
for use in automated tests on both the production floor and in an
R&D environment.

digits, the PXI-4071 achieves DC reading rates of 7 S/s. For
applications requiring higher throughput, it has a maximum DC reading

rate of 10 kS/s at 4 ⁄

digits, as depicted in Table 1. These rates are at
least five times faster than the traditional GPIB-controlled DMMs.

Wide Dynamic Range of Measurements
This FlexDMM can measure 1000 ꢀDC and 700 ꢀrms at CAT I levels.
In addition, the PXI-4071 uses a novel solid-state current shunt
configuration, which delivers current sensitivity down to 1 pA, as
shown in Table 2.
This wide measurement range makes it ideal for applications
such as fuel cell testing, leakage measurements, current-voltage curve
tracing analysis, off-state semiconductor device measurements, and
battery testing.
