1 The ambient temperature of a PXI system is defined as the temperature at the chassis fan inlet (air intake).
2 For increased capability, NI recommends installing the PXIe-4147 in a chassis with slot cooling capacity ≥58 W.
3 Channels isolated from earth ground, but share a common LO for all channels (bank isolation).
4 Power limit defined by voltage measured between HI and LO terminals.
5 Sourcing power may be limited by total power available from the chassis power supply. Refer to the Performing a Power Budget on a PXI/PXIe System article for more information.
6 When sinking more than 15 W into the PXIe-4147, transients may not exceed 200 mW/µs.
7 Refer to the Remote Sense and Load Regulation sections for additional accuracy derating and conditions.
8 Temperature coefficient applies beyond 23 °C±5 °C ambient within ±5 °C of Tcal.
9 Tcal is the internal device temperature recorded by the PXIe-4147 at the completion of the last self-calibration.
10 Multiple-channel specifications apply whenever two or more channels are connected and sourcing/sinking current. Multiple-channel specifications account for interactions between the channels when operated at high current, including board heating.
11 Single-channel specifications assume only one channel is connected and sourcing/sinking current which results in improved accuracy due to the reduction of effects between the channels, including board heating. When transitioning from a multiple-channel configuration to a single-channel configuration, a ten-minute cool down period is required to meet Single Channel accuracy specifications.
12 Relative humidity between 10% and 70%, noncondensing. When operating above 70% relative humidity, add 30 pA to current accuracy specifications.
13 Temperature coefficient applies beyond 23 °C±5 °C ambient within ±5 °C of Tcal.
14 Tcal is the internal device temperature recorded by the PXIe-4147 at the completion of the last self-calibration.
15 Multiple-channel specifications apply whenever two or more channels are connected and sourcing/sinking current. Multiple-channel specifications account for interactions between the channels when operated at high current, including board heating.
16 Single-channel specifications assume only one channel is connected and sourcing/sinking current which results in improved accuracy due to the reduction of effects between the channels, including board heating. When transitioning from a multiple-channel configuration to a single-channel configuration, a ten-minute cool down period is required to meet Single Channel accuracy specifications.
17 10 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. PXIe-4147 configured for normal transient response.
18 Measured as the time to settle to within 0.1% of step amplitude, PXIe-4147 configured for fast transient response.
19 Current limit set to ≥30 μA and ≥20% of the selected current limit range.
20 Voltage limit set to ≥2 V, resistive load set to 1 V/selected current range.
21 Time to recover within 10 mV after a load current change from 10% to 90% of range, PXIe-4147 configured for fast transient response.
22 At the output terminals of attached TB-414X Screw Terminal Connector Kit.
23 Channels isolated from earth ground, but share a common LO for all channels (bank isolation).
24 Accuracy is typical and applies within ±5 °C of last self calibration.
25 When source-measuring, both the NI-DCPowerSource Delay and Aperture Time properties affect the sampling rate. When taking a measure record, only the Aperture Time property affects the sampling rate.
26 As the source delay is adjusted or if advanced sequencing is used, maximum source update rates may vary.
27 Pulse widths and logic levels are compliant with PXI Express Hardware Specification Revision 1.0 ECN 1.
28 Input triggers can come from any source (PXI trigger or software trigger) and be exported to any PXI trigger line. This allows for easier multi-board synchronization regardless of the trigger source.
29 Not all chassis can achieve this ambient temperature range. Refer to PXI chassis specifications to determine the ambient temperature ranges your chassis can achieve.
30 When transitioning a device from a storage or operation environment with relative humidity above 70%, device should be allowed to stabilize in the lower humidity environment for several hours before use. Refer to the PXIe-4147Programming and Measurement Accuracy/Resolution specifications for additional performance derating when operating above 70% relative humidity.
