What Is the NI PXI Electronic Load Module?
The PXI Electronic Load Module provides the electronic load capabilities of sinking DC power with high-accuracy measurements in a compact form factor optimized for design validation, characterization, and production test.
Acquire Data at High Speed
Sink up to 300 W of power into the PXI Electronic Load Module to test a range of electronic devices while gathering voltage and current measurements at rates up to 1.8 MS/s. The industry’s first PXI Electronic Load Module also features high-speed data converters with 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
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) that eliminates custom circuitry.
Reduce Test Execution Time
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
Remote sense uses 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 module from your DUT with the built-in output disconnect relays.
Take Interactive Measurements
Immediately control your PXI Electronic Load with an interactive front panel with the free edition of NI InstrumentStudio™ software. InstrumentStudio supports a variety of NI PXI Instruments to interactively configure multiple instruments, save data, and export configurations.
