The PXI System Setup and Maintenance course provides an introduction to NI PXI hardware. It covers the key components of PXI systems and demonstrates how to safely connect, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain the hardware.
Learn to effectively use NI Digital Multimeters (NI-DMM) to recognize and interpret key specifications, helping you choose the right instrument and probes for your measurement needs.
At the end of this course, the user should be able to select an appropriate NI oscilloscope and probes for their measurement needs. They should then be able to set up their oscilloscope device and perform both interactive and programmatic measurements of their DUT.
