Overview

PCI Express, and USB DMMs for the measurement of voltage, current,

and resistance, or for diode test. They are ideally suited for OEMs,

educational laboratories, or other cost-conscious test and measurement

3 A, and 2- or 4-wire resistance measurements, NI 4065 DMMs provide

For higher-performance requirements, consider using NI 407x PCI

and PXI FlexDMM devices. They combine industry-leading accuracy and

sampling rates in production test environments.

Flexible Software Improves Usability

You can program NI 4065 DMMs through a standard application

programming interface (API) in NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI or

Microsoft programming languages. For simple benchtop measurements,

the NI-DMM Soft Front Panel provides the common display and interface

found on traditional DMMs to make simple measurements quickly and

easily. When combined with switches, the DMM/Switch Express VI can

rapidly develop a high-channel-count data-logging system with a single

function call in LabVIEW. In LabVIEW SignalExpress, the DMM/Switch

Express VI sets up a live data logger without any programming.

Efficient Mixture of Accuracy, Resolution,

and Speed

up to 3000 readings/s at lower resolutions. By trading off speed for

resolution, you can maximize measurement quality and throughput.

NI 4065 DMMs also offer comparable accuracy over a 24-hour cycle

or one year of an external calibration to other GPIB, LAN, or USB-based

sacrifice basic measurement quality for a low selling price.

For higher resolution, accuracy, or speed, consider using one of the

two-year period. This represents a 3X improvement over the NI 4065

DMMs for accuracy and noise. The PXI-4071 is also available with

(DMMs) for PXI, PCI, PCI Express,

and USB

• 7 built-in measurement modes –

AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, 2- or

4-wire resistance, and diode test

• Ideally suited for OEMs, educational

labs, and production test

For increased accuracy, resolution,

measurement speed, and functionality,

consider NI 407x FlexDMM devices.
