National Instruments PXI-4130 PXI Source Measure Unit
The NI PXI-4130 (part numbers 779647-30 and 779647-31) is a programmable, high-control Source Measure Unit (SMU) in a single slot, 3U PXI module. It has a single detached SMU channel that offers a four-quadrant ± 20 V output that consolidates remote (4-wire) sensing. This channel is fit for sourcing up to 40 W in quadrants I and III and sinking up to 10 W in quadrants II and IV. With five current-giving estimation resolutions down to 1 nA, this exactness source is perfect for design validation and semiconductor test applications that require automatic sourcing and sweeping and, additionally, high-precision estimations.
The PXI-4130 also incorporates a utility channel that can source either current or voltage with set-point and estimation resolution. This output provides up to 6 V and 1 A as a complementary power source to the SMU channel. Applications such as transistor characterization that requires precisely sourcing a consistent current or voltage while clearing another current or voltage can significantly profit by the diminished complexity, footprint, and cost that this module offers.
The two channels of the PXI-4130 power SMU can act as either a constant voltage source or a constant current source, with a settable consistency constraint for either mode. In addition, the user can empower remote sense on the SMU channel to augment voltage output/estimation exactness on the PXI-4130 SMU under test for high-accuracy applications.
The PXI-4130 is run using the NI-DCPower driver software, which can be programmed using software like LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI. It has a recommended warm-up time of 30 minutes and should be calibrated at least once a year.
It is possible to control the PXI-4130 either from inside the PXI backplane or remotely through a front-board-associated assistant DC supply. The NI device weighs 11 oz and measures 8.5 x 5.1 x 0.8 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C; a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C; noncondensing operating and storage humidity ranges of 10% to 90% and 5% to 95%, respectively; and operating and non-operating random vibrations of 0.3 grms and 2.4 grms, respectively—all at a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz.
The PXI-4130 has been declared obsolete by National Instruments (NI), but the SMU will remain available in perpetuity with Apex Waves!

National Instruments PXI-4130 SMU Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Why does the PXI-4130 have two part numbers?
Answer: The two part numbers have a few differences. Part number 779647-30 has a -300 mA to 300 mA current range and does not include auxiliary power. Part number 779647-31 has -2 A to 2 A current range and includes auxiliary power.
Question: Which driver software is used with the NI PXI-4130?
Answer: The driver software used with the SMU is called NI-DCPower.
Question: What is the current range of the NI PXI-4130?
Answer: There are five current ranges on the Power SMU: 2 A to 200 µA. The PXI-4130 also features a secondary utility channel (Channel 0), which operates on a distinct 1 A current range.
Question: What is the relative humidity range for the source measure unit?
Answer: The noncondensing relative humidity range for the PXI-4130 is 10% to 90% for operating conditions and 5% to 95% for storage conditions.
Question: Can I combine multiple PXI-4130 channels to increase my output voltage or current?
Answer: You can connect Channel 1 (the isolated output) in series with other output channels to generate larger output voltages, as long as you do not exceed 60 V DC from any terminal to ground.
Question: Why is my PXI-4130 output turned off when I first start it up?
Answer: The PXI-4130 features unique behavior where its channels power on as disabled. This differs from most other NI-DCPower instruments, which typically power on with their channels enabled.
