National Instruments PCI-4060

The National Instruments PCI-4060 is a versatile Digital Multimeter (DMM) designed for integration into PC-based systems. Identified by part number 777559-01, this device excels in measuring voltage, resistance, and current, and is capable of temperature and frequency measurements, as well as diode testing for both AC and DC parameters. The PCI-4060 operates in two distinct modes: DC and AC. In DC mode, it boasts a maximum resolution of 5.5 digits, with a voltage measurement range extending from +20 mV to +250 V. The AC measurement capabilities range from 20 Vrms to 250 Vrms.

For resistance measurements, the PCI-4060 supports both 2-wire and 4-wire configurations. In the 2-wire mode, resistance can be measured from 200 Ω to 200 MΩ, complete with an auto-ranging feature. The 4-wire mode minimizes lead resistance effects, enhancing accuracy for low-value resistance measurements, with a range from 200 Ω to 2 MΩ. Additionally, the device is adept at diode testing, able to measure up to 2 V, indicating diode functionality based on voltage drop readings.

Measuring 4.25 x 6.9 inches, the PCI-4060 has an input resistance of 1 MΩ and operates within a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 25 kHz. Its recommended operating temperature spans from 0 to 55 °C, while it can be stored in environments ranging from -20 to 70 °C, all within a non-condensing humidity range of 10 to 90%. Although National Instruments has announced the obsolescence of the PCI-4060, it remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves. The device comes with a three-year warranty and employs NI-DMM driver software, with user documentation readily accessible for download. For pricing inquiries, please contact a sales representative.
