National Instruments PXI-4071 PXI Digital Multimeter
The NI PXI-4071 (Part Number: 778271-01) is a FlexDMM, multifunction 3U PXI module that gives the estimation ability found in a high-resolution digital multimeter (DMM) and a digitizer. As a DMM, the PXI-4071 makes quick, precise voltage estimations from ±10 nV to 1000 V, current estimations from ±1 pA to 3 A, and resistance estimations from 100 Ω to 5 GΩ and takes recurrence/period and diode estimations. The device has a DC current range of -3 A to 3 A. In the high-voltage, confined digitizer mode, the PXI-4071 can get DC-coupled waveforms at test rates up to 1.8 MS/s in all voltage and current modes. Utilizing the examination capacities in NI LabVIEW programming, the user can study these waveforms in time and recurrence. The PXI-4071 offers prevalent speed, exactness, and usefulness, making it a great choice for use in robotized tests.
This model outperforms traditional 7 1/2-digit DMM speed/execution boundaries by utilizing a modern architecture that exploits the fast PXI bus. At 7 1/2 digits, the PXI-4071 accomplishes DC reading rates of 7 S/s. The device, when AC coupled, has an auto-range time of 250 ms (for both AC V and AC I), a range/function change of 10/s, and a trigger latency and maximum trigger rate of 2 µs and 1 kHz, respectively. The device has a warm-up time of 1 hour before operation.
The PXI-4071 can import and export triggers, making it simple to coordinate them with any multiplexer/matrix switch modules. Specifically, the FlexDMM incorporates consistently with National Instruments' switch offerings. For example, with NI switch modules and NI Switch Executive switch management software, the user can quantify a huge number of channels, consisting of voltages, thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors. The user can also keep a firm control on the cost of their framework.
Additional specifications for the PXI-4071 can be found in the datasheets and manuals under the "Manuals & PDFs" tab.
Apex Waves stocks end-of-life NI hardware for purchase and repairs in perpetuity. While the PXI-4071 is no longer available with National Instruments, the digital multimeter will remain available with us!

National Instruments PXI-4071 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Does the NI DMM 3.0.5 driver support the PXI-4071?
Answer: Yes, the digital multimeter is supported by the NI DMM 3.0.5 driver.
Question: My NI PXI-4071 is failing when I run a self-test in Measurement & Automation Explorer. The error that appears is Error -223911. What does this mean and how do I prevent this error?
Answer: Error -223911 occurs after the DM module alias is renamed. This can be prevented by restarting Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) after every rename.
Question: What precautions should I take when handling and installing a PCI or PXI DMM?
Answer: To avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), you should always ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded object. Before removing the device from its antistatic package, touch the package to a metal part of the computer chassis. Additionally, you should handle the DMM by the metal bracket or edges and never touch the exposed pins of connectors or any exposed circuitry.
Question: What do the 7.5 digits of resolution for the PXI 4071 mean?
Answer: The digits of resolution indicate the quantity of digits displayed on the DMM’s reading. For 7 digits, this means 0000000 ~ 9999999 can be displayed. For 7.5 digits, this can be displayed when 00000000 ~ 19999999 are displayed. If ½ is used for the digits, it is used when the first digit is represented by only 0 or 1.
Question: What is the maximum range of the PXI-4071?
Answer: The maximum voltage for the PXI-4071 is 1,000 VDC (between the HI terminal and ground), and the maximum current is ±3 A DC.
Question: Do all NI DMMs support 4-wire resistance measurements?
Answer: No, the NI PCMCIA-4050 does not support 4-wire resistance measurements. This measurement configuration, which eliminates the effects of lead resistance to accurately measure low resistances, is only supported on the NI 4060, NI 4065, and NI 407x models.
Question: How can you configure the input resistance when using the PXI-4071 in a VI?
Answer: You can program the DMM using LabVIEW and the NI-DMM instrument driver.
