This course will enable Test and Validation Engineers to take inductance, capacitance, and resistance measures with NIs LCR Meter, the PXIe-4190. The course will focus on how the PXIe-4190 can be leveraged to perform common tasks and tests, such as single-point measurements, C-V sweeps, and frequency sweeps. The course will guide the learner through the complete test workflow: from configuration and cabling to calibration, troubleshooting, and ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements. This course will also focus on automation through software applications including LabVIEW and InstrumentStudio.
Course Last Release Date or Version Number: 2022
