NI PXIe-4138
Single-Channel System SMU
This document lists specifications for the NI PXIe-4138 (NI 4138) system source-measure unit
(SMU).
Specifications are subject to change without notice. For the most recent NI 4138
specifications, visit ni.com/manuals.
Caution Using the NI 4138 in a manner not described in this document might
electrical shock.
National Instruments defines the capabilities and performance of its Test & Measurement
instruments as Specifications, Typical Specifications, and Characteristic or Supplemental
Specifications. Data provided in this document are Specifications unless otherwise noted.
Specifications characterize the warranted performance of the instrument within the
recommended calibration interval and under the stated operating conditions.
Typical Specifications are specifications met by the majority of the instruments within the
recommended calibration interval and under the stated operating conditions. The performance
of the instrument is not warranted.
Characteristic or Supplemental Specifications describe basic functions and attributes of the
instrument established by design or during development and not evaluated during Verification
or Adjustment. They provide information that is relevant for the adequate use of the
instrument that is not included in the previous definitions.
Unless otherwise noted, specifications are valid under the following conditions:
Ensure an ambient temperature of 23 C 5 C.
If the PXI Express chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure the fans are set to the
highest setting.
